The Greater Bridgeport Access is $3.50 each way.  If you purchase a  book 
of ride tickets there is no savings at all.  I will say that the BPT  and My 
Ride you should have exact change as there is no guarantee they have any  
change on board.  I make sure I have enough quarters and the singles for  the 
round trip.
 
They claim they might have change, but I had a five dollar bill and  
quarters hoping to get the $2 for the next part of my ride and they did not have  
it.
 
So be prepared.  The tickets come in 10 packs.  They will take a  check or 
cash on the bus for the books of tickets.

Hi  Debbie:

Like Suzanne and Joyce, I use paratransit to get to and from  work. I find 
that it works fairly well. I live in West Haven and and use  the Greater 
New Haven Transit District (also know as My Ride). When I  moved here seven 
years ago, I called every day for my rides, but got put  on subscription 
service about six years ago. I have no problems getting to  work, but 
getting home can be a challenge sometimes. However, like Chris  said, being 
to work on time is more important. Also note that you are  bound to run 
into some difficulty when you have to transfer between  paratransit 
districts (such as Bridgeport and New Haven). I'm sure someone  will 
correct me if I'm wrong on this, but it costs $2.50 per ride in every  
district throughout the state. It is slightly cheaper to purchase the  
ticket books, which I have chosen to do. There is a website where you can  
purchase them online which is:

www.cttransit.com

Hope this  information is  helpful.
