One can take the scenic up to Waterbury , view debris beyond belief , homeless encampments , empty factories like crumbling ancient graveyards on either side..
When we ride it from Bridgeport or Derby there is not many riders , sometimes it's completely empty..An awful lot of money is being requested for an albatross , a money pit.
Hanging on to a memory that's long gone and will never return.
Sad i know , but this is not the answer .
Only a few riders from Waterbury who get a train pass from some program or another or another up there , to go find a job or mostly just Go

Sorry, you have no clue what you’re talking about.
You’re obviously not one of us 1000 commuters a day who use the Waterbury Line to get to work. Most days I can’t get a seat on the 6:30 A.M. train to Stamford because there are so many riders.
Yes, the stations are disgusting, the trains are bad and inconvenient and the schedule is so bad that I can’t take it every day because I might not be able to get home when I work late, yet almost 400,000 people a year ride that train to work. Imagine how many people would take this service if it ran every 30 minutes during BOTH rush hours!
I wouldn’t know about the view out the window because I can read the news or do work on my computer or take a nap while the train gets me to my home or office about an hour faster than if I have to drive on Route 8 and I-95.
The train is what our business needs and it’s what my younger co-workers want. A lot tell me they would buy a cheaper house in the Valley if they could take the train to Norwalk or Stamford. I bet there’s even more of these kids working in Fairfield and Westport who would rather live in Derby, Shelton up to Naugatuck if they could take a train every 30 minutes. I bet other businesses would be in Connecticut if they knew that the young workers who like trains were moving here to the Valley.
I‘m guessing that you don’t work because if you did you would know that it’s a heck of a lot cheaper for the taxpayers to pay for a few more trains than spending BILLIONS of our money to build and maintain the ridiculous amount of roads, bridges and infrastructure needed to drive our cars and sit in bumper to bumper traffic jams every day! If you spent half your day driving back and forth to a job you would know that!
