New Baltimore Bus Route To Serve Guinness Brewery

BALTIMORE, MD — A new bus line will serve thirsty visitors to Baltimore who want to sample the latest beers offered at the Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Halethorpe. The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) announced this week that it will begin a year-long pilot program involving a bus route from downtown to the brewery on Sunday, Sept. 1.

More than 400,000 people have visited the Guinness Brewery since it opened about a year ago, and it employs more than 200 people, according to an MTA statement (see map below).

The agency said it will install a new bus stop at the brewery for the CityLink Yellow line. The buses on the pilot route will run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and travel time between downtown Baltimore and Guinness will range from 30 to 40 minutes.

The CityLink Yellow bus destination signs and associated bus stop signs will read “Downtown” for service ending at Guilford and Centre streets, and “Relay” for service ending at the Guinness Brewery.

Over 12 months, MTA said it will analyze the feasibility of the bus service. Any modifications will take effect in fall 2020.
