Unlike the MTA, the recently-launched Charm City Circulator is a city-run service. And unlike the MTA, the Circulator is free.
Funded by parking taxes, two of its planned routes are now online. The Orange Route runs east to west from Hollins Market to Harbor East. The Purple Route runs north to south between Penn Station and Federal Hill. A third route not yet in service would run mostly east of downtown, serving Power Plant Live, Fells Point, and the Johns Hopkins medical complex. The buses, smaller and quieter than the MTA, are ideal for people staying downtown looking for a way to get out towards Fells Point, Federal Hill, Mount Vernon and other areas underserved by the MTA.
If staying outside the city and taking Light Rail or Metro Subway in, the routes were thankfully designed to run near key stops like Baltimore Street, Charles Center and the Convention Center.
