The Advocate - Improved bus service could be arriving soon

The Advocate - Improved bus service could be arriving soon: "Bus operators are promising more routes, commuter shuttles at train stations and other improvements if the Connecticut legislature adopts the findings of a statewide bus study.

Most of the changes would focus on extending the hours and frequency of existing intercity bus routes such as the I-Bus between Stamford and White Plains, N.Y., and the Coastal Link between Norwalk and Milford, operators said after the study was released last week.

Conducted by a coalition called Transit for Connecticut, the study is credible because it has the support of business and environmental groups such as the Business Council of Fairfield County and Connecticut Fund for the Environment, said Louis Schulman, district administrator for Norwalk Transit."
