Two big bits of news for the Charm City Circulator! First comes the most concrete news. The new route coming this spring is the "Banner" route (Blue). This route (pictured above...click to expand), will take tourists and residents from the inner harbor to Fort McHenry along Key Highway and Fort Avenue.
The second announcement was included in Stephanie Rawlings Blake's State of the City speech the other day. She intends to expand the Purple line north to Johns Hopkins University. It currently only goes to Penn Station, so this would be a very large expansion. I do wonder if Johns Hopkins will help pay for the expansion and retire their own aging shuttles that already do that route. If nothing else it provides a free ride to the Baltimore Museum of Art for downtown tourists.
