Nearly 80% of Connecticut has access to mass transit. We mapped it out | interseCTion
** Support independent journalism by subscribing to Mieum Media on Patreon: **
If you go to virtually any Connecticut-related message board and ask if you need a car in CT, the answer is usually an overwhelming “yes.” However, 77% of towns in the state have access to some form of mass transit. We decided to map out what this actually looks like. Even if these visual representations will not satisfy everyone’s transportation needs, they do tell a story about how extensive Connecticut’s mass transit system actually is.

Our newest exhibit, “Connecticut Innovates! Presented by Connecticut Innovations” will explore those stories, asking “why Connecticut?” What was it about the environment, the people, and the resources that existed in the past and still exist today that has led Connecticut to be a hot-spot of innovation? After learning the stories of why things were created, how they came to be, and their impact on society, visitors and participants will be inspired to conceive, and perhaps create, something innovative themselves.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
New Haven is a coastal city in the U.S. state of Connecticut. It is located on New Haven Harbor on the northern shore of Long Island Sound in New Haven County, Connecticut, and is part of the New York metropolitan area. With a population of 129,779 as determined by the 2010 United States Census, it is the second-largest city in Connecticut after Bridgeport. New Haven is the principal municipality of Greater New Haven, which had a total population of 862,477 in 2010.New Haven was the first planned city in America. Founded in 1638 by English Puritans, a year later eight streets were laid out in a four-by-four grid, creating what is commonly known as the Nine Square Plan. The central common block is the New Haven Green, a 16-acre (6 ha) square, and the center of Downtown New Haven. The Green is now a National Historic Landmark and the Nine Square Plan is recognized by the American Planning Association as a National Planning Landmark.New Haven is the home of Yale University. As New Haven's biggest taxpayer and employer, Yale serves as an integral part of the city's economy. Health care (hospitals and biotechnology), professional services (legal, architectural, marketing, and engineering), financial services, and retail trade also contribute to the city's economic activity.
The city served as co-capital of Connecticut from 1701 until 1873, when sole governance was transferred to the more centrally located city of Hartford. New Haven has since billed itself as the Cultural Capital of Connecticut for its supply of established theaters, museums, and music venues. New Haven had the first public tree planting program in America, producing a canopy of mature trees (including some large elms) that gave New Haven the nickname The Elm City.
