Quickest ride I’ve ever taken from Union Station to Baltimore - faster even than the Marc train. With outlets. Don’t know why it has to be twice the price of Marc and other buses, however.

The bus didn't show for over an hour and the staff either had no clue on what was happening, or just didn't care about the passengers waiting in the freezing cold. Then the bus arrived and the driver was trying his best to help everyone. Eventually arrived in Baltimore over 2 hours late.
