“Amtrak recently extended its Thruway bus service to Maryland’s Eastern Shore through a partnership with BayRunner Shuttle of Salisbury, MD. The service is available from Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport Rail Station (BWI) to the communities of Easton, Cambridge, Salisbury, Ocean Pines and Ocean City, MD.
Amtrak’s Thruway service is a convenient way for Amtrak passengers to reach communities not served by rail. This new Thruway service offers Amtrak passengers a choice of 14 daily departures – 7 in each direction to and from Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Shuttles depart BWI every two hours from 8:35am to 8:35pm to Easton, Cambridge and Salisbury. Shuttles depart Salisbury for BWI every two hours from 5:20am to 5:20pm making stops at Cambridge and Easton. Ten of the daily departures – 5 in each direction – also serve Ocean Pines and Ocean City. BayRunner Shuttle provides all-reserved van shuttle service. Fares begin at $40 each way.
