Hello Everyone,

I am fairly unfamiliar with the train station and I think that I should start taking it. I live in Bridgeport and I work full time in Darien and I attend school part time in Norwalk. So basically my whole life is in Darien and Norwalk. I can't afford to move out on my own so I thought taking the train may be a good idea. I'm starting to get sick from sitting in traffic!

Do you think that the Bridgeport parking garage is safe, do i need a permit, how much do I need to pay, how do i get train tickets?

Also I think there is a bus stop at the end of my street to the train station should I use that instead?

Any help please

Yes, it is safe. Use common sense and you should have no issues.

Not sure about the bus route.

During rush hour the train station is full of people and safe.

You buy the tickets from a machine in the waiting room(you can pay in cash or credit). If you are traveling during rush hour you have to select the "peak" fare, all other times select "off-peak." You can find schedules on Metro-North's website.

The bus station is next to the train station(there is a walkway that connects the two). You can check out the bus schedule on their website. I use the bus on occasion to get from the train station up to St. Vin's or sometimes East Main Street and I have always found it convenient.

The parking garage is as safe as any other parking garage. Since it is difficult to park at the Fairfield Train Station you will find a lot people from Fairfield, Easton, Trumbull parking in Bport and taking the train from there.
