Hartford Bradley (BDL): route 30 Bradley Flyer and the local route 24
CTtransit route 30, the Bradley Flyer, runs express on I-91 to Hartford, 04:33 to 00:10. Route 24 is the slower local via Windsor Locks.
- The stop is Bradley Int'l Airport @ Terminal A, in CTtransit's published data.
- Route 30, the Bradley Flyer, is the express: headsigned 30X - Hartford via I-91, running 04:33 to 00:10.
- I-91 is the motorway, so the Flyer is a genuinely fast run rather than a local bus badged as an airport service.
- Route 24 is the local: Windsor Locks and Bradley Int'l Airport, 04:10 to 00:32, via North Street, with a 24E variant via Elm Street.
- Route 24 has about 620 scheduled calls and route 30 about 430, so both run properly through the day.
- Both cover the early morning and the late night, which is unusual and worth relying on.
- Bradley is about 24 km north of Hartford and roughly midway between Hartford and Springfield, Massachusetts.
- Windsor Locks is the town the airport sits beside, and it has a station on the Hartford Line railway.
The Bradley Flyer
- CTtransit route 30, branded the Bradley Flyer, is the airport express. Its headsigns are 30X - Bradley Int'l Airport via I-91 and 30X - Hartford via I-91.
- First departure 04:33, last 00:10, about 430 scheduled calls.
- Running on I-91 rather than the surface roads is what makes it worth taking. It goes to downtown Hartford.
The local
- Route 24, Windsor Locks / Bradley Int'l Airport, runs 04:10 to 00:32, about 620 calls.
- Variants run via North Street and via Elm Street (24 and 24E), so read the headsign.
- It is slower but it starts earlier and finishes later than the Flyer, which matters at the margins of the day.
