History

Route 215 was launched on March 1, 2017 as a new express line connecting Baltimore to Maryland's capital.[4][5] A segment of the new BaltimoreLink system, Route 215 connects Baltimore's employment centers (Johns Hopkins Hospital, Financial District, University of Maryland, Inner Harbor, and others) to the state government center in Annapolis via Interstate 97 and U.S. 50.[6]

Route 210 was launched in tandem with Route 215, as a reserved directional line traveling from Annapolis and Kent Island to Baltimore.[1][7]
