I'm planning a visit to the Naval Academy soon. What are the best options for getting from Baltimore/Washington International (BWI) to the academy? Is there a shuttle or public transportation I can take?
Generally, there are several options for travel from Baltimore/Washington International (BWI) Airport to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis.
1. Taxi/Uber/Lyft: The easiest and most direct option is probably to take a cab or a ride-sharing service like Uber or Lyft. The trip takes roughly 30-40 minutes, depending on traffic.
2. SuperShuttle: Another popular choice is SuperShuttle, a shared ride service. It's usually more affordable than a private cab, but you'll be sharing the ride with other passengers, so the travel time might be a bit longer.
3. Public transportation: The most affordable, but also the most time-consuming option, is to take public transportation. You would first take the Light Rail from BWI to Cromwell Station/Glen Burnie. Then, take Bus 70 to Annapolis. Expect this to take about 2 hours.
4. Rental Car: If you're comfortable driving and plan to travel around the area more extensively, you might consider renting a car. Several major rental agencies have counters at BWI.
Please note that it's always a good idea to check the specifics of these travel options closer to your visit date, as schedules and services can sometimes change. Happy travels!
