Bayrunner was founded in January 2005 with ground shuttle service from the Salisbury area to BWI Airport. In following years it forged marketing and operational alliances with Amtrak, Greyhound, Hyatt, and BWI area hotels. In 2010 it successfully competed for a federal 5311(f) grant to begin service to underserved rural areas of Western Maryland. Administered by the Maryland Transit Administration, the grant was renewed in July 2012, and continues through June 2014.

Having started with two vans, Bayrunner now logs over 1.2 million miles annually. Bayrunner serves 12 destinations from as far west as Grantsville, MD to Ocean City. The destinations served on Maryland's Eastern Shore are Ocean City, Ocean Pines, Salisbury, Cambridge, Easton, and Kent Island. In western Maryland stops are made at Grantsville, Frostburg, Cumberland, Hancock, Hagerstown, and Frederick. Frederick is the headquarters for the western MD operation.
