Route 22X
This route, providing service between Downtown Bridgeport and Trumbull/Monroe, will be restored to provide one morning and one evening trip to essential businesses in these areas.

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.
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.

Wear a Mask if You Have One
If you have a mask, please keep it on while using the bus. Keep it on while waiting at the bus stop, while entering and exiting the bus, and while traveling on the bus.
For Essential Employers
We are working with area leaders and businesses to ensure that essential workers can still get to jobs. If you are an Essential Employer that has workers impacted by these changes, please contact us here.
When Will Full Service be Restored?
Some riders are asking when the service will return to normal levels. The answer is we do not know. Much will depend on the advice of government officials and public health professionals. What we can tell you is, we recognize the importance of bus service to the many people living and working in our region and we will begin restoring service as soon as it is safe to do so.
