Shuttle service from BWI to serve Western Md.

A Salisbury-basee shuttle service that now serves the Eastern Shore from BWI Marshal Airport and other transportation hubs has expanded its service to Western Maryland, the company has announced.

Bayrunner Shuttle is now providing round-trip van rides serving Frederick, Hagerstown, Hancock, Cumberland, Frostburg and Grantsville from BWI airport and train station as well as the Greyhound Bus Terminal in Baltimore. The service is financed with the help of a Federal Transit  Administration grant.

Bayrunnner will provide four trips a day to Frederick -- two of which will continue to the other stops before reaching its terminus at Grantsville in Garrett County. Single-passenger tickets will range from $37 to Frederick to $61 to Grantsville.

The shuttle service will provide the rides using 15-passengers Chevy Express vans. The company, founded in Salisbury  in 2005, has set up a  branch office in Frederick to oversee its Western Maryland operations.

The company now offers van trips from the same Baltimore stops to Ocean City, making stops at Kent Island, Easton, Cambridge and Salisbury.

I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THIS SHUTTLE FROM SALISBURY.
I WOULD HAVE USED IT SEVERAL TIMES.

IT NEEDS TO BE ADVERTISED MORE.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing that Shuttle service from BWI to serve Western Md. Keep sharing this.

Thanks for a great blurb. Like the first commenter, I didn't know this service existed until now. I've used other BWI services at other airports but never in this area. I travel a lot for work, so they are pretty handy since I am usually only there for short periods of time (which makes renting a car nonsensical).
