The Connecticut Co. operated replacement bus service between Norwich and Putnam. Transit service in New London-Norwich area now provided by publicly owned Southeast Area Transit. Bus service introduced between Torrington and Winsted was part of a route put together in 1928 between New York and Pittsfield, including a new segment between New York and Torrington, and a segment between Winsted and Pittsfield acquired from Thomas Biscetta. In 1937, that route became part of a New England Greyhound Lines route, and New England Transportation Co. continued to operate over the segment as part of a route from Waterbury to Winsted. New England Transportation Co. ceased operations in 1958. In 1930, Short Line assumed bus service between Putnam and North Grosvernordale, which became part of a route between Putnam and Worcester MA.
