MTA wants to know… what are your priorities for bus service? Service planning requires strategically balancing resources (such as buses, bus drivers, mechanics, and facility space) to deliver service that best meets the travel needs of riders.
Learn about the basics of bus service planning below and take the one-question survey on the next page to let us know which types of service you think should be prioritized. You can also provide additional comments in the comment box on the next page.
Visit the BMORE BUS webpage for more info on the plan, plus a note on reliability.

MTA's Core Bus Network
MTA’s core bus network connects riders throughout the Central Maryland region, with a service area that includes Baltimore City and portions of Baltimore, Howard, and Anne Arundel Counties. The core bus network is made up of four main route types—CityLink, LocalLink, Express BusLink, and QuickLink—that serve different locations and provide different kinds of service. Click the drop-down sections to learn more.
In addition to MTA’s core bus services, MTA also contracts with companies to operate commuter buses. These buses connect suburban areas within Maryland to job centers and major destinations in Baltimore City and Washington, D.C. Additionally, there are bus services operated by local jurisdictions beyond the core bus service area. These include Annapolis Transit, Anne Arundel County Transit, Baltimore CountyRide, Charm City Circulator, Harford Transit LINK, and the Regional Transportation Agency of Central Maryland (RTA). Some jurisdictions focus on fixed-route services, while others offer demand-response services that provide door-to-door transportation.
