In order for the bus to be a better option than Metro North, you need to value your time at $2/h or less

legend has it that they are still crossing the new haven line to this day

You guys need to find a way to publicize this great resource. A lot more people need to be aware of this. The state and local governments should publicize public transportation more

Came for the Ned references, stayed for the Waterbury shots, thank you for taking us on the adventure, Miles, great video!!

Looked at a lot of timetables It's possible to go from the Connecticut-Rhode Island border to Arlington, Virginia on "local" buses and it takes about two full days to do it. The only obnoxious gap being Joppatowne to White Marsh. The only questionable "express" bus is the njt bus from Port Authority to Lakewood.

First time I’ve seen a transit channel run straight through my backyard.

I’m gonna make Ned pay for my bus rides tomorrow 🤩

This is freaking awesome I'm living vicariously through you 3 and thank you for showing me part of the United States I might not ever see again!

If you're ever bored you can come to kansas city, missouri. We made our busses free (except for a few carve outs and I'm not sure if the kansas side went along with it).

Awesome. An elderly person taught me, add up all cost of vehicles, maintenance, fuel, insurance, debt over your lifetime. Today, that will be well over 500k. That means you can retire at 45 to 50, by not owning one. Now, take away mortgage and rents, others costs and you own your own time. Plus, its environmentally friendly.

Miles, your editing is flawless as expected by now. 10/10

3 days late but bless Saint Ned for making these vids possible for the low low cost of just your time. ALso, should've asked this 2 weeks ago, but favorite Snyder's pretzels? I'm partial to the Sourdough Nibblers myself

Stew Leonard's is quite the supermarket! Never been to the Norwalk location, but when I lived in Westchester, I grew up going to the one in Yonkers (which is served by Bee-Line and is on top of a hill so it has some great views) and Stew Leonard's is the Disneyland of supermarkets like Jungle Jim's in Ohio! The supermarket is designed as an experience where you walk through the entire store unlike the typical supermarket (so basically like IKEA), and besides the petting zoo, they have a coffee bar (with freshly roasted beans), fresh mozzarella, buffet, a bunch of tasting booths, costumed characters, a soft-serve ice cream stand, and A LOT of animatronics (yes...ANIMATRONICS) like a singing tree telling you to drink Poland Spring water! The diner you saw at 8:27 is specifically the Athenian Diner III and it's a 1997 diner made by the DeRaffele Manufacturing Co. of New Rochelle, according to Dinerville! The reason that bridge at 6:50 has all those flags is because for decades, Westport has honored jUNe Day (created by Ruth Steinkraus Cohen in 1965 in observance of the signing of the UN charter on June 26th, 1945) and United Nations Day on October 24th every year by flying flags of the member nations on the Ruth Steinkraus Cohen Bridge as the late Juilliard-trained pianist Ruth Steinkraus Cohen lived in Westport and was a staunch advocate for the United Nations and the national and state levels. WWII left a deep impression on Ruth, and she did not hesitate when in 1956 her friend Eleanor Roosevelt asked her to serve as her personal secretary on a World Federation of UN Associations mission to Warsaw, Berlin and Budapest, and she never looked back! While accompanying Roosevelt in Poland, the husband of one of their female interpreters was arrested for purchasing a copy of "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. This incident gave Ruth an idea of using Westport as a base affording diplomats and politicians an opportunity to meet ordinary people and help them to stay in touch with every day life!

This was very entertaining! I live in NYC and work in Norwalk and go to a lot of those places. It was fun seeing you discover CT. Great idea.

I can certify that this video contains much verbal hysteria. Good work fellas!

Wait I've been on that specific bus. It STILL has the dots

1:06, the Boston Road Bus Corridor was not exclusively served by the Bee-Line Buses (60/61/62), the Bx30 served it between East Gun Hill Road and Conner Street, and the Bx16 serves it between Dyre Avenue and the NYC-Westchester boarder, I suppose you can say Bee-Line exclusively served Boston Road south of East Gun Hill Road, besides that this was a very nice video!

You should do Boston to NYC next, Ive mapped it out once before and it’s theoretically possible entirely on public transit (excluding Amtrak). You might have very long connections at some points but there is a route you can take hopping between different bus and commuter rail operators that will eventually get you there

Also you can charge phone on 300 series. USB is under seat on Bee-Line Artic. Hope CT expands free bus ride to Labor Day too since it suppose to expire 6/30 last date.

Honestly love these videos, so entertaining.

I wanna hang out with these guys!! Another great video

Of all the places to go in Connecticut, Waterbury would not be on my list.

Thanks for choosing Norwalk Transit District!

broo! you also passed by stop and shop, my local grocery shopping store!!! i love this

9:44 this stretch of long island sound is where the first powered flight took place by Gustave Whitehead (Bridgeport to Milford)

Waterbury is like the BX but in the middle of nowhere 🤣

Ahh the CT Post Mall! Much of my childhood was spent there.

My fav, how many times the New Haven line is pointed out, too funny, bravo!

man, you couldnt even pay me to go into waterbury

Just came across this channel and binge watched most of it 😭 so glad other ppl take transit for fun too

Pre covid I recall doing Flushing Queens to Darien for $2.75 (MTA fare covered both transfers and 61 was running g into Bronx when I ran it.

This looks like an out of water experience fish would have. :)))) These guys are travelling WITHOUT cars !

Interesting, don't you all enjoy railroad trams, trains etc are just so cool take a ride in my ''transportation'' folder, (folder 2 in playlists) :)

lmao great job just to let you know the bus on the 60 you rode was a New Flyer XDE60 and the old bus you rode was a Neoplan AN460

Please do more CTtransit routes I have been getting on random cttransit buses and go to its last stop and last one I been on the 255 was nice sight to see

THANKS NED

Once upon a long time ago this same trip could have been done by trolley car, mostly over Connecticut Company lines. It wouldn't have been free though.

Buses in this video: 2018-19 XDE60, 2010 Nova Bus LFSA, (I don’t know the year) Gillig BRT, and (I don’t know the year) XD40

Thank you for making me a proud Connectican.

That World wide water crossing is the bridge over the Saugatuck River in Westport CT. As you drive east towards Southport

08:25 The Athenian Diner (colloquially known as the Silver Diner) is a solid diner. Fair prices and, well, diner food - it’s not going to change your life but we all need some good old fashioned diner food available 24 hours a day.

you asked why don't they open the rear doors? I have some insight as I worked at a Fairless transit agency the reason we did not open the rear doors is because we had to count the amount of passengers getting on in order to secure funding.

You've hit levels of foamer I have never seen before, and I've pressed my phone to the cab door of a packed TTC train to get the shot in a bike share t-shirt. While I appreciate Miles' MTA t-shirt, I think y'all need shirts that say, "Warining: Foaming in Progress." I thought about getting little business cards that say, "Please be advised, I am about to be cringe. Stand clear. Thank you." and handing them out like in Joker. You might take these suggestions in jest, but as we transition to a more based society, we need to make provisions for the foamers that have had to exist in a car centric society for so long. We need to at least alert normies that we are about to be wilding out because the 60' Articulated Novabus happens to have an obscured view out the window.

Ironic? Ned Lamont campaign ads were part of this video.God Bless Ned for free busing.

You could’ve ride for free from Manhattan (During the weekday not on the weekends) via the Bxm4c.

I lived around Stratford for a year years ago, never know there is a bus

Watching in 2024. I think miles is unhinged

Ned, buddy….meet with Miles to discuss CT Transit.

You came through my city…Stamford!

Just the right amount of time not to be boring.

They're not free.. Workers had to work for free while bureaucrats skimmed off the top

Thats so cool man lol, you passed my cousins house, they live 2 houses away from stew leonards

Crumbs. You came to my turf to do Transit things. Lets do that again soon.

New Roach-elle

that was a lot of fun :)

Hopefully there was enough verbal hysteria in this one.

Come to Raleigh NC and ride the buses I would do it with you

2:31 I was wondering the same thing when I was riding the "w"20 the other day

In all my years living here thankfully I never have seen a dotted bee line

Snyderless Walgreens would be a pretty sick name

Those stop announcements on the CT Transit buses sound annoying and robotic. Maybe you could pass that along to Ned.

Man, New Rock City was so cool when I was like 8. That and Sportime.

When will the next cheapest way video come out? I've missed this series.

4:54 is such a typical NovaBus moment with their loud doors

Real talk, the diner in Milford you passed is actually fantastic. CT Post Mall? Big ole oof.

wait did ya tank new haven line? how'd ya end up at fordham??? wouldn't that be more than $12 since you'd be transferring at harlem/125th to the harlem line?

Best days of your life kids Enjoy ( you will never forget those days)

When do you get an official sponsorship from Ned the lord and saviour?

0:48 velour/velvet cloth ??

if you ever wanna try to get to get from richmond to norfolk on local buses lmk, i’ve been dying to try it. afaik it requires one segment of amtrak or greyhound but from williamsburg you can take WATA and HRT

This shit gave me second hand ptsd. I get violently I’ll after like a 20-30 minute ride

i want to make trip like that?

I am shocked that you can go that far for free (when this was going on). Also why don’t u have an intro song?

New Roc City is an Shopping Mall type complex.

You should have more subscribers, Miles.

How cheaply can you get from Hartford to New York City?

What’s the origin story behind the Ned references? I know that he made the busses free last year but is there anything else?

Could we take this same route from CT to NYC

I gots the Brass Mill 🤒 fever

no way 10:30 who ever says it getting rural is wildin

would be better to go on the train its still a good 2 hours from new york.

I wonder what is the furthest you can travel with public transit only

It's so cute seeing US people tying to be Europeans /jk

When was this done?

So how can we get to New York City from Waterbury by bus?

Bus ted.

Lmao idk if going to "waterbury" is anything to be proud of... If anyone asks "what time is it?" They're trying to get you to pull out your phone. Don't.

fun challedge ride every bus line in the city of stamford, there's only 12

Is the BxM4C free too?

Surely you can continue on the 928 Up to Hartford and do New York to Hartford for free

What, no Wawa's?

"Why wouldn't they open the back door too?" You get what ya pay for 🤣 Thus the question begs > is there a free return?...or is this NYC's way of reducing the population 🤔

I know rory Gilmore is quaking

Please write web site For used bus free

Coastal link, most COVID proof Bus?

omg, i seriously wanna meet ned! i fucking love public transit

I have the ambition to walk across every border in Schengen. So far I have done France : Belgium, Austria : Slovakia, Slovakia : Hungary and Switzerland : Germany.

I wonder why is it free to ride rather than pay for the service?

I thought this video was going to feature cheesy corporate music and perhaps sticking your gum under Gov Lamonts seats.

Nothing is free. Someone is paying for it.
