Fast. Friendly. Reliable. Frequent. Extensive…read more For what its worth, the CDTA as a system, can really get a person around the capital district. Yes like any transit system the CDTA has its faults. I have yet to see another city though the size of the capital area that services neighborhoods so frequently, usually on time and is as high tech as they are. Buses are usually almost always clean, I can always find a seat and their is always ample room to put my bike. Of course more suburban and rural areas get less service, in the city pockets CDTA is more than enough. With my student pass I don't even have to pay for the transit. I don't think enough people utilize the CDTA which is a shame because so many people depend on the CDTA and quite frankly it can save people headaches of having to drive everyone and clog up the roads. my only real complaint is no chargers or wifi on the buses. But with almost 60+ routes its really hard to find a lot of faults with a system that doesn't have to be as robust but really gets the job done at the end of the day. I think people need to realize that in terms of New York State, the CDTA is one of the best systems in the state outside Nassau County and Westchester/Yonkers. So putting it into perspective, the bus system could be a LOT worse. So count your blessings people!

It's been a long long time since I first rode the Albany bus system. I was barely 16 years old and over here in the US on my own, without my parents' knowledge, traveling around the East Coast. I had just hopped off a Greyhound from Montreal, and I was touring the NY State Capital on foot and by bus. Those were good times. I put myself through a lot of strain and physical exertion to see so much of the country, but it was worth it. I remember it very fondly. My experiences on CDTA then, and since, were mostly positive. Some of the drivers are unfriendly. Some of the routes stop running way too early. And some of the buses are a little old and in need of a facelift. But on the whole it's good, and not too expensive (lasy time I rode it anyway, and before), so a solid 4 from me. I'd rather ride a train, but I C.D.T.A. = Can't Do Trains Anyway.

I was staying at an airbnb in Stowe and figured I would book an Uber for a 4:25AM pick up thinking…read morethat me reserving would secure a ride to the airport. I woke up and of course there was no Uber driver in sight. I tried Lyft too, nothing. I was going to miss my flight and was even looking into changing my flight to a later time in the day but I thought, "maybe there's a shuttle car service here", so l googled and Neil popped up. Their website said "call or text" so I figured I would just text the number. Neil personally got back to me immediately at 4 in the morning. He said he could be at my airbnb in 9 min and he showed up early! He quoted me a great price and was the only person in Stowe who could have and would have taken me to the airport. He made sure I got to the airport on time and now I'm writing this review from the airport terminal drinking coffee because of how quickly he got me to the airport! Neil saved my morning and allowed me to not miss my flight to get back home for my son's birthday today. Neile is the only one who lives in Stowe that could get me anywhere at last minute. Everyone else is at least 30 minutes to an hour away. Neil is really someone who anyone can depend on. Without question, do not book an Uber or Lyft, call or text Neil and he and his team will 100% be there for you!

Amtrak is a lifesaver. Yes one can travel in Vermont in style and comfort and it is not an…read moreautomobile!! This station has heavy use for those country travelers headed to New York or DC as the "Vermonter" train passes through twice daily. The route is from St. Albans (used to be Montreal ) to Washington DC, with all kinds of stops in between (NY, Philly). This depot only has a parking lot (safe) and you can leave your car with no worries or fees. A nice change from the car and high gas prices.

I booked a train trip from Waterbury to NYC over a month ago. I got a phone call today, 4 days…read morebefore the trip was to take place, that I would not be on a train but would instead be on a 7 hour bus ride. This is not why I paid for. In addition, the bus did not include the amenities that I had originally purchased access to: wifi and a cafe cart to be able to eat during the journey. With 4 days notice I am unable to book a flight in place of the train and will potentially have to cancel the trip all together. There was no alert of potential reroute via bus when I booked the tickets. Amtrak customer relations was extremely rude on the phone and ended up cancelling my trip without giving me any alternative solution to compensate for the inconvenience and false advertising.

Wow, crossing the bridge already! Sucks that Amtrak isn't in the actual city but this is way faster than, say Manhattan to NJ. (For my New York Times Pitchbot people - are CDTA buses too fast?) No maps or signs at State/Downtown. Not everyone has the app or wants it. Apparently no tap to pay without buying a card, which isn't sold anywhere nearby. App signup is annoying. Thankfully there was a deus ex machina and I found my stash of dollar bills, so the app and I have mutually agreed to part ways. The New York Times Needle now projects a 3-star rating . Only one stop between Ted's and Gus's on the express bus. The Sunday schedule. I was on Team 214 until I saw I'd have more than an hour wait. Went to many stops and I don't recall seeing any maps.
