Bus Service
Bus transportation is offered on three separate routes, with a total of 12 stops at convenient locations throughout Greater Hartford. Bus service on these centrally located buses is FREE of charge.
We also provide door-to-door bus service on two separate routes to West Hartford residents. Every effort is made to ensure a safe ride and to minimize the amount of time spent on the bus. Summer Place counselors supervise the campers on each bus.
