Amtrak and Bayrunner Shuttle Partner to Provide Thruway Service from BWI to Eastern Shore

Service Includes 14 Daily Departures

WASHINGTON - 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.
