Free Rides Available June 18 On Harford Transit LINK

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — Harford Transit LINK, the county’s bus transportation system, will offer free rides on all its fixed routes June 18 to celebrate National Dump the Pump Day.

The American Public Transportation Association organizes this annual event to promote public transportation as a "convenient, cost-saving travel option."

Harford Transit LINK operates seven fixed routes Monday through Friday with 12 buses countywide and into Cecil County. LINK also connects with Amtrak in Aberdeen, Edgewood and Perryville, MTA/MARC trains, MTA commuter buses and regional Greyhound, which then connects with main terminals in Baltimore and interstate travel.

Key service areas include Harford Community College, University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Centers, Perryman Peninsula and Riverside business communities, Aberdeen Train Station, Harford Mall, the Constant Friendship shopping area, Edgewater Village Shopping Center, Hollywood Casino, Great Wolf Lodge and Beards Hill Shopping Plaza.

Passio GO!, an app, displays bus routes and schedules and lets riders track buses in real-time. Once the application has been downloaded, users should choose “Harford County” from the menu to view Harford Transit LINK fixed routes. The Token Transit app eliminates the need to carry the exact fare or a bus pass. Users can buy single or unlimited rides with all day, all week or all month passes on their smartphones and activate the online passes to show the driver as you board the bus.
