There are lots of ways to explore New London and the surrounding region. Here are just a few of the options available to help you get where you want to go:

SEAT Passes for Students: All current/active students have access to free SEAT Passes that can be used on all SEAT services (Fixed Route Bus, NL Smart Ride)

Due to changes at the state level, Smart Ride is no longer using Token Transit. You will book your ride the same way (via the Spare Rider app or by calling (860) 934-5234), but you will now need to have a physical ticket. Tickets can be obtained at the Gatehouse. If you do not have a ticket, the driver will ask you to pay the fare via cash or credit card. When using this service, please ensure your pick-up and drop-off location on campus is the bus stop bench on the loop road behind Burdick.

For problems or issues while using SEAT services, please contact information@seatransit.org or call (860) 886-2631.

SEAT Fixed Route Bus

Route 1

 stop, across from Arbo - The northbound bus goes to Mohegan Sun and stops on Monday through Saturday every hour between 6:05 a.m. and 10:05 p.m., and on Sundays between 9:05 a.m. and 5:05 p.m. The southbound bus goes to Union Station (connect here, not Crystal Ave., for other lines) and stops on Monday through Saturday every hour between 6:45 a.m. and 10:45 p.m. and on Sundays between 8:45 a.m. and 5:45 p.m.

Route 14

NEW  stop for Conn College at the Williams St. and Briggs St. intersection, campus side. Route 14 provides Monday through Saturday transportation between New London Union Station and the New London Mall (ShopRite, Marshalls, Michael's, Verizon), Waterford Commons (Target, Best Buy, Dick’s, Panera, Ulta, Tractor Supply), Crystal Mall (Buffalo Wild Wings), New London pharmacies (Walgreens and CVS), and the New London Shopping Center (Staples, NSA Supermarket, Denny’s, Texas Roadhouse, Burlington).

Note: This stop should appear on the apps because it is a Google stop, but it is not officially listed on the SEAT timetables. However, the bus heads there right after it leaves New London Union Station (about five minutes away), so it will arrive about 5 minutes after the hour (:05). SEAT recommends being at any stop a few minutes early, so riders have time to load their Token Transit app and open their pass right before boarding.

All fixed buses are on a flag/hail system

  • Getting on the Bus: A passenger wishing to board the bus stands along the designated route in a safe location and signals the driver (often by waving their hand or arm) to request a stop.
  • Exiting the Bus: A passenger already on the bus uses the pull cord to signal the driver. The driver will then let the passenger off at the nearest safe location, which could be an intersection, a driveway, or any point along the route where the bus can safely pull over.

New London Smart Ride

New London Smart Ride is an on-demand micro-transit service provided by SEAT that operates within the City of New London from 8 a.m. to midnight, Monday through Saturday, in places the fixed route bus does not access. By utilizing the Spare Rider app, the , or calling SEAT at (860) 934-5234, riders can book customized, curb-to-curb trips much like a ride-hailing service, often sharing the vehicle with other passengers heading in a similar direction. We ask that when students use this service that their pick-up and drop-off location on campus is the bus stop bench on the loop road behind Burdick.
