Getting around Downtown Annapolis just got cheaper. Bus riders can board any Annapolis Transit bus from Compromise Street (on the Annapolis side of the Spa Creek Bridge) to Westgate Circle, including Duke of Gloucester Street, Main, and West Streets and Church Circle, for free. However, passengers must be traveling within the Free Fare Zone for free travel. Passengers riding beyond Westgate Circle will be charged regular fare. Downtown bus routes include the Yellow, Gold, Brown and Green.
In addition, the Annapolis Transit also operates two FREE shuttles from the Navy-Marine Corps Stadium, Navy Blue & State Shuttle
The Navy Blue Shuttle offers the best way for visitors to experience Annapolis without having to drive. Navy Blue goes to Historic Annapolis and Inner West Street.
The State Shuttle makes a constant loop between Navy Stadium and the legislative buildings. Although primarily a commuter tool for the hundreds of state employees located in Annapolis, anyone can catch the State Shuttle to access stadium parking.
The two shuttle systems complement one another, State Shuttle leaves every five minutes during peak rush hour and every 15 minutes all other times. Navy Blue leaves on the hour and half-hour. Together, the shuttles provide a consistent stream of transit service to the downtown area.
The buses operate, Monday to Friday, 6:30 a.m.to 8:00 p.m. The State Shuttle runs until 10:00 p.m. on Monday's during legislative session. On weekends, Saturday and Sunday the buses operate from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Navy Blue Only), except during major holidays and special stadium events.
