Why CTrail Billed Your Statement
Unreviewed registry note: When a line item shows CTRAIL HARTFORD LINE PMT on your bank ledger or card statement, the charge comes from the Connecticut Department of Transportation. CTrail operates commuter rail corridors throughout central and coastal Connecticut, notably the Hartford Line between New Haven and Springfield, Massachusetts, and Shore Line East between New London and New Haven. Like regional passenger transit systems such as metro-north-etix or amtrak-rail-tickets, CTrail provides daily train transportation for commuters across Connecticut and western Massachusetts.
