FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS!

It's only natural that many common questions arise from visitors to our site, and this page is here to try to answer the most frequent queries that our Cutomers inquire...
 

  • What other services is my BTCo Pass valid for besides the BTCo operated Services?

  •  

     

    BTCo passes are valid for travel on the following services: Baltimore & Annapolis buses, McMahon Transportation buses, Old Court Transit buses, Dundalk Bus Lines buses, and Rosedale Passenger Lines buses, in addition to unlimited travel on off-peak MDot Commuter trains WITHIN THE BALTIMORE CITY LIMITS. 

    BTCo passes also entitle the user to a $3.00 discount on any MDot ticket for use beyond Baltimore City Limits.  Please check with the Station agent for additional details.

  • When will the Airport extension on the #17 Streetcar line open?

  •  

     

    Unfortunately, BTCo had planned to open the #17 line extension in July of 2001, but extreme difficulties in aquiring land have pushed the scheduled completion of this extension to July of 2003. 

    Extension of service on route #17 to the Friendship International Airport will offer a one seat transit ride to this growing transportation hub, as well as offer more frequent service to residents along the MDot B&A line as far as Shipley.  More infromation will become available as the opening date approaches.
     

  • Why is the "Y-Rolling Road Bus Line" not shown on the service map?

  •  

     

    At the time this map was being drawn, negotiations were under way for a takeover of route Y by Old Court Transit.  These talks initially fell through, but have since resumed.  As a result, the cartographer was at a loss to determine if the line should be designated in blue or yellow as per the map coding.  We hope to have this resolved shortly.
     

  • Can I charter a BTCo Vehicle?

  •  

     

    BTCo will charter any of its vehicles for local travel, provided that the operation of the charter does not impede our frequent scheduled service.  Many people charter our Streetcars and Trackless Trolleys for fan trips, and our Buses to move large groups with versatility.
     

  • Does BTCo have a historic fleet for charter?

  •  

     

    BTCo does roster older vehicles of every type specifically for charter, in addition to rostering a wide variety of vehicles used in every day service, varying from a few 1917 streetcars to buses dating to 1963.  Both the "Historic Fleet" and the Revenue Fleet vehicles may be chartered, at the customer's preference.
     

  • What qualifications are required for a Senior Citizen Discount?

  •  

     

    Simply present certifiable proof that you are age 60 or older, and we'll take your photo for your Senior Citizen ID, that will entitle you to deep discounts riding both BTCo vehicles and MDot Trains.  Individual bus companies may have different tariff instructions regarding Senior Discounts, so check with the carrier before riding!
