Reposted by Connecticut Public Transportation CouncilKate Rozen @katerozen.bsky.social · 16/02/2026When there was more service, ridership was higher. Legislators were told that to increase service back to pre-covid levels, they needed to get more housing around stations. That is happening. What we are seeing now, after the M8 investment, feels like gaslighting by the administration. 3208
