What's going on, people... Yeah...I'm rotten777, the unoffical SSC ambassador to Hartford, cool to see some locals here, so I joined... Feels good to actually read about projects in my hometown.

LOL...I found this website when checking out Providence development...good to see that Hartford has a forum here!

I never understanded the busway logic myself... If you take PT in Hartford (I haven't used the bus in a while, but I do know most of the routes), you have to take the P bus. This bus takes almost 45 minutes to go 10 miles, a very slow and boring trip through Newington in the middle...while RAIL could take less than half if they used express trains (if they could), and could encourage people without cars to go to Downtown Hartford and to Downtown New Britain without taking inefficent busses...hell, a Park-and-Ride in New Britain would be nice too... If CT was as ambitious as other states, Hartford could have had a commuter rail system easier than other cities...the rail is already there. If they used their logic that they are using with the Hartford-Springfield-New Haven commuter rail, this would make sense as well. Other rail routes that could be made are one to East Hartford/Manchester, and the Griffin Line to Bloomfield... But this will never happen, at least for now...
