With numerous transportation options to use, including the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA Maryland) system and the Charm City Circulator, it’s easy to get around by bus. There is a light rail network that connects the Hunt Valley area to the Glen Burnie area, along with subway lines that run from John Hopkins Hospital to the Owning Mills neighborhood.
