Amtrak's Vermonter provides daily service north to Burlington, Vermont, or south to Washington, DC; regular shuttle trains connect riders to the Northeast Corridor line and Metro-North. CT Fastrak, a new rapid-transit bus system scheduled to open in 2015, will make getting from Hartford to New Britain and Waterbury easy.
