Route 903 is a commuter bus service managed by the Maryland Transit Administration that connects Charlotte Hall, Maryland, Waldorf, Maryland, Suitland, Maryland, and downtown Washington, DC. This route is operated on behalf of MTA Maryland by Keller Transportation, Inc. and provides weekday trips, with morning departures from Charlotte Hall and Waldorf heading toward Washington, and return trips in the afternoon. The line mainly travels along Maryland Route 5, making stops within the District of Columbia, Prince George's County (Suitland), Charles County (Waldorf), and St. Mary's County (Charlotte Hall).

Introduced in 2001 to support heavily trafficked corridors, Route 903 was designed to meet the commuting demands between Southern Maryland and Washington.

In 2008, a proposal was made by MTA to combine Route 913 with Route 903 to improve service along the busy M Street corridor. This merger was implemented on January 12, 2009. To alleviate concerns about paying an extra fare for transfers, MTA confirmed that riders would not be charged a second fare.

Subsequently, the route was redesignated as MTA Commuter Bus Route 735.
