A Brunswick Link bus in 2025

The Brunswick Link is a bus service in Brunswick, Maine, United States. Established in 2021, as a successor to the Brunswick Explorer, the bus route serves 27 stops in the Brunswick and Cook's Corner areas.[1] It is operated by Western Maine Transportation Services, Inc., a non-profit 501(c)(3) regional transportation corporation, created by statute in 1976 and appointed by the Maine Department of Transportation to provide public transportation.[2]

The Brunswick Explorer was a "flex route", but a study undertaken in 2020 determined that the town would benefit from a full-schedule fixed-route service.[2]

The Brunswick Link runs hourly from the Amtrak station to Mid Coast Hospital, via Brunswick Landing. It also provides a connection, three times a day, to the BlueLine Commuter service, also run by Western Maine Transportation, which services Bath, the Topsham Fair Mall, Lisbon Falls and Lewiston.[3] Connections are also made to the Metro BREEZ express bus to and from Portland, the state's most populous city.[4]

The buses are able to divert off-route for up to 0.75 miles (1.21 km) to pick up passengers with disabilities, as long as reservations have been made through the Americans with Disabilities Act.[4]
