The Collegetown Shuttle is a free transportation service for students, staff, and faculty at seven participating schools in the Baltimore region. No farecards, tickets, or special cards to ride the shuttle - simply use your college/university ID card to board the bus to visit a friend, get to an internship, or explore Baltimore's finest hotspots.
Destinations
The Baltimore Collegetown Shuttle goes to seven schools - Goucher College, Towson University, Loyola University Maryland, Notre Dame of Maryland University, Johns Hopkins University (Homewood Campus), Maryland Institute College of Art, and Morgan State University. In addition to the seven schools, we stop at Towson Town Center, Penn Station, and Towson Place Shopping Center.
Click, Call or Text to Track
We purchased Nextbus technology which will allow riders to track the shuttle on the web or on their smartphone. While the online schedule provides approximate times for the shuttle's arrival, Next Bus tells riders exactly when the shuttle will arrive.
