HARTFORD — State Transportation Commissioner James Redeker cautioned legislators against replacing Metro-North Railroad as the operator of the New Haven line linking Connecticut to New York City.

Sens. Toni Boucher of Wilton and Tony Hwang of Fairfield, both Republicans, have introduced a bill that would force the state Department of Transportation to put the contract out to bid. Connecticut or Metro-North may seek changes this year, Boucher said.

Several legislators from southwestern Connecticut say their constituents are unhappy with slow, unreliable rail service and want a different contractor.
