Reply to comment by slipperyrock4 in Non-drivers, do you have a hard time getting around in Connecticut? by Remarkable102088

I do plan on getting a vehicle in the future. I was thinking about moving to New Haven or West Haven. I originally wanted to move to Hartford, but you need a vehicle.

Them’s the bus routes. Metro North has a train line out of there from union station. Sidewalks will be mostly everywhere there; someone else will have to chime in about any bike lanes.

I hear ya on the vehicle thing. A lot of CT is inconvenient or exceedingly difficult to access without a car.

Major cities probably no problems.

Bus service in towns like New Haven , Hartford, Bridgeport have bus stops on just about every corner, there are ride shares, uber,Lyft cabs etc.

Smaller towns may be less options.

I live in New Haven. My girlfriend is not a driver, and has gotten around fine since 2019. However she’s also a grad student at Yale, so she has access to Yale shuttles that go around the city.

I personally would not want to live here without a car, but it seems possible particularly if you plan where you live well.
