Legislative Brief ● February 14, 2020

Welcome to the GBT Fact Book 2019.

We’ve put together the data and information about bus service in the Greater Bridgeport Region that we’re most often asked about. The GBT Fact Book 2019 includes data about ridership, safety, complaints, efficiency, and costs, as well as some illuminating data on funding and how it affects our region. Below are a few highlights from the Fact Book.

Help us bring investment to our region for new services.

Take a look and reach out if you’d like to talk with us. Our door is always open.
