In-Town Bus Service Begins Operation in Enfield

The new fixed route bus service through the town of Enfield made its debut Monday morning.

Dubbed Magic Carpet Rides, the bus service is provided through a $3.2 million grant from federal and state government.

The circular clockwise route runs from 7 a.m. until 11 p.m. and travels from North Main Street, east on Elm Street to Hazardville Center, then west on Hazard Avenue and north on Pearl Street. The counter-clockwise route runs during rush hours from 7-10 a.m. and from 4-7 p.m.

Free rides are being offered through the month of January, according to an email from Director of Social Services Pam Brown.
