Bus service picks up * USA - Hopkins shuttles attract thousands of riders — not all of them students or staff
At 5 p.m. on Monument Street in East Baltimore, the line of doctors, nurses, researchers, students and others winds down the block and around the corner
Baltimore,MD,USA -The Baltimore Sun, by Stephen Kiehl -November 10, 2008: -- Coffee cups in hand and headphones in ear, they file on to the buses that line up three deep.They are riding what has become a highly popular shadow transit agency - the Johns Hopkins shuttle. Every day it provides 5,000 rides to and from Charles Village, Mount Vernon and the east side, to anyone associated with Hopkins, or sometimes just anyone at all... Riders do not pay a fare and need not show an ID.The big white buses with "Johns Hopkins" emblazoned on the side depart as often as every five minutes during rush hour. There are seven stops on the route between the university's medical campus, home to its world-renowned hospital, and its Homewood campus, where crowds gather in the morning to be ferried down St. Paul Street...
