Bridgeport Traction Company

[1] At the time, streetcars were a more affordable form of transportation for those commuting between Bridgeport and Norwalk.

[2] In 1899 president Andrew Radel formed a company that was intended to control the world's oyster trade.

The leases on the former Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co. routes were voided in 1936 for nonpayment while the New Haven was in receivership.

[4] CR&L resumed operation under its own name, and streetcar lines in Bridgeport, Derby, and Waterbury were replaced with buses in 1937.

The transit franchises were succeeded by the Greater Bridgeport Transportation Authority soon after.
