If you’ve driven into the city, and find yourself unable to drive home, a host of challenges and scenarios present themselves:  how do you get back in the morning to pick up your car?  Will your car get towed?  Also, leaving your car in some neighborhoods in Baltimore would be foolish.

However, there are safe and viable options available. 
Check these out:

Baltimore’s Tipsy?Taxi! Program

Maryland Transit Administration
Let’s face it, there is a good chance that you’ve never taken public transportation in Baltimore. If you haven’t, do not worry.  The routes are easy to navigate, are more than likely close to your destination, and are more than likely still running at 2am.

Another convenient option is to park at one of MTA’s numerous park-and-ride lots and take the light rail into the city.
