Support businesses that choose to locate themselves near transit!
Transit-accessible businesses make themselves available to people who:
- are too young to legally drive
- cannot, for a variety of other reasons, drive
- cannot afford a private vehicle
- don’t want to rely on family and friends for a ride
- would rather spend their money on comics than on car payments, or to put it another way, people who prefer supporting artists and writers to tossing their savings to an industry that is actively and rapidly causing large-scale harm.
This map shows comic stores that are accessible by public transportation in Connecticut.
There is a caveat: simply being near a bus stop or train station is not accessible if the person has to walk on a busy road that lacks sidewalks or asks them to play Frogger to cross the street.
USING THE MAP
This is interactive, so click the slider at the top left to get a list of the stores, click on the thing that looks like a frame to make the map larger, and click the purple bus icons to get details about what routes serve each store and if there are suggested walks from the stop to the shop.
Planning to head out for Free Comic Book Day? I tried to note which routes have no weekend service. Always verify bus/trains schedules through local transportation provider (link provided in map) and/or Transit App, as routes change and some have very limited hours.
If there are any additions or subtractions needed, send an email.

This is such a great idea! Thank you for creating it 🙂
