As Circulator Gets New Contract to Keep Running, Questions on System’s Equity Persist

The city is renewing its contract with RMA Worldwide Chauffeured Transportation to operate the Charm City Circulator for another three months, said Department of Transportation spokesman German Vigil, and the popular online bus system’s app is back online.

The city is re-upping the $1.7 million emergency contract while it negotiates an agreement with the company to run the nine-year-old Baltimore City bus network. RMA was also awarded the long-term contract by the city, Vigil said in an email. According to CityBuy, the current agreement ends today.
