Offers $1 Introductory Fare
"The residents of Southern Maryland have always shown tremendous support of the MTA's commuter bus service," said Governor Ehrlich. "As ridership continues to grow, adding another express commuter bus route in Charles County makes sense. We want to relieve any overcrowding on our other Southern Maryland commuter routes and continue to improve the customer experience for all those choosing to take transit between the Southern Maryland counties and the Washington area."
A $1 introductory fare for 913 service will be offered through October 29. The fare will increase to the standard commuter bus fare of $3.50 each way beginning November 1. Service will be provided every 30 minutes from 5:30 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. to the Branch Avenue Metro Station and from 3:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. from Branch Avenue Metro to Waldorf.
"The MTA is excited about providing additional capacity for our southern Maryland commuters," remarked Transportation Secretary Robert L. Flanagan. "Customers on the new commuter Route #913 can leave the driving to us! The commute between Southern Maryland and the Washington region has never been easier."
The new service expands the number of Southern
Maryland commuter bus routes to six.
The five other routes currently providing service between Southern Maryland and the
Washington area include:
the # 901 LaPlata/Waldorf to Washington, DC;
the # 903 Charlotte Hall/Waldorf to Washington, DC;
the # 905 Charlotte Hall/Waldorf to Washington, DC;
the # 907 LaPlata/Waldorf to Washington, DC; and
the # 909 California/Charlotte Hall to Washington, DC.
