Modified Bus Schedule #2 Due to Coronavirus

Bus Service Expansion with State’s Phased Reopening

Effective Sunday, June 14, 2020  | Posted June 10, 2020

On Sunday, June 14, 2020, service modifications will go into effect, in anticipation of increased demand and requests for service by riders and business owners. This service change will increase the amount of scheduled service GBT is operating, ahead of the State of Connecticut’s scheduled June 17th reopening. Under this expanded service plan, riders can access essential destinations in the GBT service area and service will begin earlier and end later than it currently does. This service plan also allows for the continued use of “shadow buses”, to help reduce crowds on buses and passbys by full buses.

Here’s an overview of all bus service, effective 6/14/2020:

• Routes 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13 and 15 are running a Modified Monday-Saturday schedule and a regular Sunday schedule on Sundays. There is now an earlier start time and a later end time.
• Route 1 is running a Modified Monday-Friday schedule, a Modified Saturday schedule, and a regular Sunday schedule on Sundays. There is now an earlier start time and a later end time.
• Coastal Link (CL) is running a modified weekday schedule Monday through Friday, and a modified Saturday schedule on Saturdays. CL is running a regular Sunday schedule on Sundays. There is now an earlier start time and a later end time.
• Route 5 is running a more frequent Modified Monday-Saturday schedule and a regular Sunday schedule on Sundays. There is now an earlier start time and a later end time. All trips will service Commerce Dr, Black Rock Tpk and Brewster St.
• Route 9 is running a Modified Monday-Friday schedule, Modified Saturday schedule, and a regular Sunday schedule on Sundays. Monday-Friday includes hourly Quarry Rd service arriving at Quarry Rd from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Saturday does not include Quarry Rd service. There is now an earlier start time and a later end time.
• Route 19x, 22x, and 23 are running a modified schedule with each running one morning and one afternoon trip Monday through Friday.
• Route 7 is temporarily suspended – Riders should use the Coastal Link (CL).
• Route 17 is temporarily suspended.

Riders should note that the Bus Tracker and other electronic signage will be limited or unavailable during this time as it will be inaccurate and not reflect these changes.

These changes will be in effect until further notice as GBT is continuing to monitor developments regarding the spread of COVID-19 in our community.

*Start and End Times are for Modified Schedules only (excluding Sunday Schedules).
