I know it’s not helpful to say but it really depends. What town do you plan to move to? Some towns suck without cars while it’s much more doable in more urban areas.

I do plan on getting a vehicle in the future. I was thinking about moving to New Haven or West Haven. I originally wanted to move to Hartford, but you need a vehicle.

Them’s the bus routes. Metro North has a train line out of there from union station. Sidewalks will be mostly everywhere there; someone else will have to chime in about any bike lanes.

I hear ya on the vehicle thing. A lot of CT is inconvenient or exceedingly difficult to access without a car.

Major cities probably no problems.

Bus service in towns like New Haven , Hartford, Bridgeport have bus stops on just about every corner, there are ride shares, uber,Lyft cabs etc.

Smaller towns may be less options.

I live in New Haven. My girlfriend is not a driver, and has gotten around fine since 2019. However she’s also a grad student at Yale, so she has access to Yale shuttles that go around the city.

I personally would not want to live here without a car, but it seems possible particularly if you plan where you live well.
