As a bartender at ward 9 I can say we’ll happily put on a game for you. Volume for the game depends on the stakes or how much money you give me.

Fair point, but it depends how much of a die hard you are too.

It’s usually during rush hour and commuter times. It’s also for the kids that go to sacred heart academy. Though not many actually use the bus. More used to but don’t anymore. But it’s so rare they cut a route that it just stays.

Yeah the 238c goes down circular. Sometimes. Why isn't that consistent? Figured the c would be for the alternate route but sometimes the driver just takes the c all the way to the plaza.

I second this. Great site

If you have bar money for 182 games you probably have cable money. I found when I was doing this to watch the Bruins my bar tap far exceeded a monthly cable bill.

India Farmers Market may also have what you need. West Haven

Get a vpn and watch on strikeout.ws. You’ll just need to close the popups in the right way

Thanks for all of your input! To answer a couple questions and provide a little more info, I’ll be moving my family of 4 out there so we’ve been looking more into towns within 20-30 minutes - in rural OK, that’s about what I’m accustomed to already anyway. Places we’ve scoped out so far have been based on in our budget and good school districts.

Unfortunately you're probably correct. Sucks for all us local fans on the outside

Annex / east haven is very under rated it’s quite but it’s 10-20 minutes from decent hiking but easily Uber able to downtown. What are you into?

Go to trinity or ward 9

Download the Moovit app for future bus route trips

It lets you know in real time when they arrive etc

You can plan out any trips from your location to destination at anytime

It also lets you click on depart and arrive times of your destinations

the 206 bus right now yes goes to Tweed but only stops at the terminal if you tell the driver when you are on the bus. i think you only call the CtTransit if you are at Tweed and you want the pick up; when leaving Tweed- that is the part that is dicey.

there's yankees bars and red sox bars tho,

around here you gotta look for sox swag on the exterior of the establishment

say you're a mets fan if anyone gets in your face

You are very welcome. Any other bus questions feel free to ask or pm. I’ve been a New Haven city bus driver for 5 years. So I know the system very well

And I just now saw this announcement:

https://portal.ct.gov/DOT/CTDOT-Press-Releases/2023/Transit-Royale-Upgrade

CT is now picking up the tab for us to use the paid tier of the Transit app for a year, which makes it even better.

Update: In case any one is interested, I successfully made my trips to and from Hamden. Thanks for all the help, as a Midwest transplant in the northeast, I am certainly not familiar with using public transit 😅 but look forward to utilizing this system more!

Thank you! The Transit App is very helpful.

Not an exact solution, but we listen to the local games, WEEI comes in pretty clear across CT.

Missing out on NESN games won't be so bad this season, without Rem Dawg and Eck it'll be a dry year. Youk is doing a good job so far, but I mute it when Maz is on.

There’s definitely some good bars to watch games, I’m cable-less and that’s what I do

There's a phone app simply called Transit, already mentioned by ankly98, that's designed just to give you bus and train and other mass transit info. I find it a lot more convenient than using a general purpose mapping app when I simply want the damn bus schedule and not the other stuff Apple and Google put in my way to get there. It's free to use though some of the extended features require a paid subscription.

Happily, it does recognize and show you all the invisible "transfers" where buses change route numbers while you're sitting in them, like the 212 to 238.

Thank you! Might have to ditch Apple Maps for google maps.
