- Towson Orange Loop provides East/West service from Donington Circle to SECU on Lasalle Road at Towson Place. The Eastern segment of the Towson Orange primarily operates on Joppa Road, while the Western Segment operates on Fairmount Avenue and Kenilworth Avenue.
- Towson Purple Loop provides North/South Service between Towson Mall and Goucher College to Sheppard Pratt Health. This line primarily operates via York Road
Fleet
Until mid 2023, the fleet did not have visible numbers and was uniform. This led many to believe these were not numbered. However larger, more visible side and rear numbers were added since. Their fleet consists of 12 Ford E550 Cutaway buses with Startrans Bodies, all purchased in 2020. They all wear a livery promoting the new “theLoop” service.
