Deskripsyon
I say this as a low-income person who sometimes takes the bus (when I have no choice):
Can we please move the bus hub away from the Green, at long last? Let's stop pretending we're one big happy community, or one society.
Establish bus hubs on lower Dixwell, the Boulevard, and Foxon, where there's more room and less interclass tension. This would also alleviate many of the complaints from Downtown posted to this site, including the loitering and drug activity.

Part of the problem is CTTransit and their spoke and hub route system. The green serves as the hub for the present, but I agree that bus stop is just a facade of parity. We all know there are at least 2 New Havens depending on how much money you have. Busriders are classed out of the downtown retail environment, except for Dunkin Donuts and the dollar stores, so I'm not sure they still feel comfortable themselves being in such a changing environment. But, the problem stems from CTTransit and their shoddy route system which serves faraway places like North Branford and Madison while ignoring New Haven's neediest routes within the city....speaking of facades.... They are Not a CITY bus company, they are REGIONAL and state-funded.
Despite the challenge, CTTransit endeavors to improve the quality of life for state residents:

We are reviewing older issues to help to better address current concerns.
You are welcome to - re-open the concern but this may not be the best avenue for response as the system is best designed for short term concerns like potholes.
The DOT in partnership with the CT, CT Transit and other stakeholders have undertaken a comprehensive review of the transit system that Please track the progress here. http://www.movenewhaven.com/
