Luxury Bus Service To NYC Adds White Marsh Stop

From Our Bus: OurBus, a tech company specializing in crowdsourced intercity and commuter bus routes, has expanded existing service from Columbia, Maryland, to include stops in Towson, and Baltimore (White Marsh Park & Ride), with express service to New York City, effective Sunday, December 15.

OurBus service will operate daily, with one-way fares initially starting at $10.
"Since launching our first Maryland route from Columbia in April 2017, we’ve been continually listening to our customers, and OurBus recognizes the need for more convenient transportation options closer to where our Maryland customers live and work,” said Axel Hellman, co-founder, OurBus. “For example, rather than traveling to downtown Baltimore, we’re offering local Towson residents and university students bus service in their own backyard.”
Bus stops are at the following locations:

• Columbia: 8100 Broken Land Parkway (Broken Land Park & Ride, East Lot)
• Towson: Fairmount Avenue and Towson Gate Dr, Southeast corner (in front of Towson Town Center
• Baltimore: White Marsh Park & Ride

In addition to this month’s expansion in Howard County, in November 2018, OurBus expanded its presence in Maryland with service launching in Bethesda and Rockville.
It’s not only the destination that’s important, but the experience of riding on OurBus. Each bus comes equipped with free bottled water, Wi-Fi, reclining seats and individual charging ports.
By using crowdsourcing to bring efficient bus service to leisure travelers, students, and families on a budget, OurBus is bucking the traditional bus service model, which utilizes a point to point network concept, recognizing that travelers need reliable and efficient transportation that’s close to their home, with less transfers, and less time in the car.
