Anne Arundel County bus system upgrades make free transportation more accessible

Over the past few years, Anne Arundel County has incrementally upgraded its bus system, including launching an app that allows residents to track buses and expanding a feature that enables them to call a bus. Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman told state transportation officials at a meeting last week he was actively trying to improve transit service in the county. “There is the, ‘build it and they will come’ philosophy as opposed to, ‘well people aren’t riding it so let’s not bother to build it,’” he said.
