Average score for buses from Harrisburg to Baltimore
(Based on 3 ratings and reviews)
5.0
Pros: The ride was comfortable for the reasonable price. Cons: The staff at the station should always be in there or have a bell to get their attention. I almost missed the ride waiting for someone to answer me. And a passenger who had communication issues, could not get a phone to use with the driver. Drivers should be equipped to help in such situations.
