Charm City Circulator
From CPTDB Wiki
The Charm City Circulator is a free bus service linking heavily trafficked parts of Baltimore via three routes. It is geared towards residents, employees and tourists, and strives to be as eco-friendly as possible. The service is operated under contract by Veolia Transportation.
The Charm City Circulator launched on January 11, 2010 with one route; the Orannge Route. It was originally planned for September 2009, but with the slowing economy and delay in supply of the buses from DesignLine, the launch was pushed back.[1] After over a little of three months of service, the circulator announced they have reached 100,000 riders since it's launch.[2] The Purple Route launched on June 4, 2010.
