Transportation in New Haven

# Getting Around New Haven New Haven offers several transportation options for visitors, though specific route data is limited. The city is served by CT Transit's local bus network, which provides public transportation throughout the greater New Haven area. For those preferring more direct travel, taxis and rideshare services like Uber and Lyft operate throughout the city. New Haven is also relatively walkable in the downtown area, particularly around Yale University's campus and the historic Green district. First-time visitors should know that New Haven has good rail connectivity through Union Station, with Amtrak and Metro-North services connecting to New York City and other regional destinations. The local bus system requires some familiarity with routes, so rideshare apps may be more convenient for short-term visitors navigating between specific attractions. **Airport Access:** New Haven is positioned between two major airports - Bradley International Airport (BDL) about 50 miles north in Hartford, and the closer Tweed New Haven Airport (HVN) for limited regional flights. For current shuttle services, ground transportation options, and pricing from either airport, check the booking widgets on this site, as services and rates vary by season and provider.
