Bus from New York to Baltimore

The bus from New York to Baltimore is the southbound leg of one of the busiest corridors on the Greyhound network, taking you out of Manhattan through New Jersey, Philadelphia and into Maryland. People take this route for work, for weekends, for college visits, for sports — Yankees and Orioles fans cross paths regularly — and for the kind of Northeast trip that's far easier than driving I-95 and finding parking when you arrive. Taking the New York to Baltimore bus is the easy way south if you don't want the airport queues or the Acela price.

How to get to the Greyhound station in New York

Greyhound buses to Baltimore leave from one of several New York stops. The main one is the New York Port Authority Bus Terminal at 625 8th Avenue, with ticket counters in the North Wing and bus gates on the lower levels. The terminal has the kind of full-service shelter you'd expect from one of the busiest bus terminals in the country.

The location puts the rest of New York within easy reach. The A, C, E and 1, 2, 3, 7 and S subway lines are all within walking distance, and Times Square is a couple of blocks east. Penn Station for the LIRR and NJ Transit is a few blocks south. Rideshare drivers know the address well.

Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before departure since Port Authority is a busy terminal and finding your specific gate takes time. Have your ticket ready on your phone or printed. Greyhound also has secondary stops at New York Midtown (300 W 31st Street near Penn Station) and several outer-borough locations — check your ticket carefully.

How to get around Baltimore when your bus from New York to Baltimore arrives

Greyhound services into Baltimore pull into the Baltimore Downtown Bus Station at 2110 Haines Street, on the south side of the city near the M&T Bank Stadium and Camden Yards corridor. The station has indoor seating, restrooms and the basic shelter you'd expect from a working terminal.

From Haines Street, the Inner Harbor and Federal Hill are reachable by a short rideshare or local-bus hop. The Charm City Circulator, the city's free downtown bus loop, runs four colour-coded routes that connect the Inner Harbor, Federal Hill, Mount Vernon, Fells Point and Harbor East. It's free, frequent and one of the easiest ways to move between the major districts without spending money on rideshares.

The MTA — Maryland Transit Administration — runs a wider network of city buses, the Light Rail (which connects downtown to BWI Airport) and the Metro SubwayLink. The Light Rail is especially useful if you're heading to a baseball or football game at Camden Yards or M&T Bank Stadium. For Fells Point, Hampden, Mount Vernon, Federal Hill and the Inner Harbor itself, walking and the Circulator do most of the work.
