When there was more service, ridership was higher. Legislators were told that to increase service back to pre-covid levels, they needed to get more housing around stations. That is happening. What we are seeing now, after the M8 investment, feels like gaslighting by the administration.

Bridgeport is tiny geographically, and it has 124 acres of land with a redevelopment potential of $1.381 billion just within 3 miles of downtown
I sometimes wonder if anyone at CTDOT is looking into it research like this. Endlessly fascinating tool

Drivers have killed at least 57 pedestrians/cyclists, so far, this year in Connecticut.
That number has increased by two because of preventable deaths on CTDOT maintained roads in Stamford and Branford.

My journey began in Salina Cruz on the Pacific coast, where I boarded the #TrenInteroceánico for the first time. A unique aspect of this project is its rolling stock, former US and British trains. Line Z features a mix of GO Transit, Amtrak, and CTDOT cars. 🤩

Two Budd SPV-2000s (former CTDOT DMUs) serve as Turista class, while two Amfleet cars are used for Ejecutiva class.
Unfortunately, the dome car (former Stampede Pass) is not in use, and due to a silly FIT rule, you CANNOT move between cars because it’s deemed “dangerous” for passengers lol.

Waterbury's old train station, with its 240-foot clock tower over downtown, is back on the market for $4.95 million. A developer planned shops, restaurants, and about 40 apartments, but he walked away over a CTDOT easement covering most of the parking and an entire wing.

On Shore Line East they absolutely are, it's their line and CTDOT only operates on it. West of New Haven though it's CTDOT owned so maybe they can try to extort Amtrak on electricity.

Thinking about how CTDOT thinks that adding two new lanes to I-95 in Stamford will finally solve congestion.
Meanwhile, the *entire* pitch for building the original CT Turnpike in the 40s/50s (now I-95) was that it would solve…traffic congestion.
Doesn’t seem like that worked, guys!
