Bayrunner Boards 100,000th Customer

Salisbury, MD Bayrunner Shuttle, a ground airport shuttle based in Salisbury MD, today announced that it boarded its 100,000th passenger to Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). On January 30th, Ms. Robin Bowers boarded the 1:20pm shuttle from Salisbury to BWI.

To commemorate the occasion, John W. Presburg, founder and President of Bayrunner presented Ms Bowers with a bouquet and a certificate for free round trip passage on a future trip. Presburg stated, " It is truly a testament to the dedication and hard work of all our employees for Bayrunner Shuttle to be fortunate to reach this milestone. In difficult economic times we have persevered to offer the travelling public a pleasant and cost effective alternative to driving to the airport. We will continue to dedicate ourselves to providing a consistently high service level and reaching the next 100,000 milestone even quicker"

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.

Congrats to John Presburg and his staff/drivers! Certainly beats driving on my own up to BWI and leaving my car sit out for a week at the airport. Glad to hear lots of people are supporting a local business.
