Route 31 is a bus route managed by the Maryland Transit Administration that operates within Baltimore and its surrounding suburbs. The line extends from State Center Metro Station S eastward through downtown Baltimore to CCBC Dundalk, primarily traveling along MLK Boulevard, Pratt Street, Lombard Street, and Boston Street. It connects important neighborhoods such as Canton and Fells Point.
This route was established as a replacement for the 11 Canton and 20 CCBC Dundalk lines.
History
As part of the initial phase of the Bus Network Improvement Project on February 22, 2015, Route 31 took over the eastern portions previously covered by Routes 20 and 11, offering transit service to Dundalk through Canton and the Inner Harbor area. In conjunction with this change, Route 26 began operations serving the Dundalk Marine Terminal and Amazon Warehouse.
Route 31 formerly operated along the Wilkens Avenue corridor between University of Maryland Baltimore County and Penn Station, but this segment was discontinued when Route 35 was extended to cover that service area.
