Getting around in West Hartford, CT

Hartford's city buses run regularly throughout the city, and less frequently to the suburbs. In downtown Hartford, people often use the free circulator bus known as "Start Shuttle", to find their way around. The interstate bus service is provided by Greyhound Bus, Peter Pan Bus Lines and Bonanza Bus and there are also the Chinatown bus lines, which offer low-cost bus service between Hartford and New York/Boston hubs. In additional to the public transportation means already reminded there are also buses available that connect the smaller cities in the state. The bus station can be easily located, being situated on the ground floor of the transport center, at One Union Place, in downtown Hartford.

With so many options available to get around in Hartford, a car may not be a necessity, while staying here. However, if you do decide to get around by car during your vacation in Hartford, this might come in handy: the city experiences heavy traffic, due to its substantial suburban population, much larger than in other cities, so it might be wise to avoid getting behind the wheel in the morning, when all the working people in the area fill the highway, and during rush hour, it might also be best to avoid I-84, which experiences heavy traffic from Farmington through Hartford, into East Hartford and Manchester.

You can also use the rail services, to travel outside the city, available at Hartford's Union Station, at One Union Place, provided by Amtrak, the taxi services (which are plenty) to travel on short distances, within Hartford's city limits, and you can even get around by bike, a bicycle route running conveniently through the city center of Hartford.
