They should have named it the “CDmoneygointothepocketsofDemocrats”.
9 miles.
9 flippin’ miles?!?!
jeeez....
Half a BILLION for a bus corridor? Stupid.
Its clear that the cost of Gov’t is out of control.
In 2012 dollars, using the US Govt inflation calculator - building the entire Hoover Dam cost slightly more than half a billion dollars.
Now that amount only buys you a 9 mile road in Connecticut.
These stories with their breathless hype and oceans of euphemisms read like satire - or North Korean or East German newspapers.

How many buses do we need to carry people who don’t work to places where there aren’t any jobs?
Why am I reminded of the old SNL skit with “Chaz the spaz” and “Dial a toast” at the school science fair?
The ground breaking should actually be considered a crime scene. Connecticut taxpayers are being robbed so a few people can ride buses alongside minor-league rush hour traffic. Despicable.
Could have been worse. Could have been high speed rail.
Connecticut should spend the money on a commuter rail from Waterbury to Hartford to Willimantic. A few years ago the Pequots (of which Liz Warren is not a member of) and the Mohegans (Again, Liz Warren is not a member) wanted (with the P& W Railroad) to rebuild the Midland Route (the old New Haven Hartford to Providence, RI route) to Willimantic. The Busway is a stupid idea. Commuter rail is a better idea.
Just think of all the illegal aliens who will be able to find work building this! The folks in New Bri’innn can’t do the work, they’re too stoopit. “I seen ‘em”. And Hartford is full of crackhead blacks, so nobody wants to go there.
