Commuter Services

The Harbor Connector Commuter Service

Businesses in the Baltimore Inner Harbor employ thousands of people; however, environmental concerns, traffic difficulties, and the scarcity of available and free parking options have driven the public to insist upon inexpensive, green, and reliable commuting options. From this clamor, the Charm City Circulator was born. As an addition to the three, free land routes of the Charm City Circulator, the Baltimore Water Taxi, in conjunction with the City of Baltimore, currently offers two water routes that are also free, called the Harbor Connector commuter service.  These routes run Monday – Friday from 7am to 7pm. The Harbor Connector is frequent, friendly, and free, so see how it can fit into your morning commute!
