Public transportation in Baltimore
Baltimore provides different public transport options, including bus, subway, light rail, water taxi, car rental and Baltimore taxi services. Buses are a safe and cheap way to travel in Baltimore. However, buses are generally not very punctual. A free bus service, Charm City Circulator bus, is available from downtown to some tourist areas.
Light rail is recommended for getting into Baltimore, as many visitors choose to park outside Baltimore and then take the light rail. A single subway line runs through downtown and the northwest suburbs, but it does not cross many of the popular tourist destinations.
Renting a car is another practical way to explore Baltimore, especially if you are heading outside the central neighbourhoods. Parking garages and lots are available in the city centre, near major tourist attractions. You can book Baltimore car rental online or rent a car at Baltimore–Washington International Airport.
In general, the standard Baltimore cab service is one of the safest travel options if you need to keep to a schedule. The water taxi is very popular among tourists. It operates on 15-20 minute intervals and makes stops at the most popular locations.

The only reason for giving 4 stars was for the vehicle pick up from airport to resort was because of the vehicle being g a bit worn and tired interior.
Return to airport was excellent.
