Baltimore's bureaucracy hides its spending because it is stealing: Charm City Circulator
10-30-2014 UPDATE: For sale by chief of Charm City Circulator – bus shelters and ads
Without any outside audits of the Circulator's assets and controls over advertising, the division's boss brazenly sought to profit, according to today's U.S. indictment

Baltimore bureaucracy hides its spending because it is stealing. If budgets were totally public and transparent then they would not be as large because government workers would be unable to funnel money away from main objectives.

Charm City Circulator Real-Time Data Movements with Google Maps Traffic Layer
This animation shows movements of the Charm City Circulator bus fleet in Baltimore, MD on Saturday, April 7th, 2013. The Bus movements were pulled every 15 seconds using the Circulator's nextBus Real-time API. Screenshots of the Google Maps Traffic Layer were pulled every 45 seconds, to show the effects of heavy traffic on the spacing and speed of buses.
For all of you non-Baltimoreans, the Charm City Circulator is a city-run bus system (completely separate from the state-run MTA) that serves Baltimore's downtown and adjacent neighborhoods. It has no schedule, and instead tries to maintain short headways. It has no confusing route numbers, and consists of user-friendly color-coded routes. The vehicles are hybrid electric, and the system boasts many high-tech features such as arrival time signs at high-traffic stops, an official app, and the real-time XML API that made this visualization possible.

The Charm City Circulator and the rules/regulations that cripple Baltimore
BaltimoreHourly.com
This video is the follow-up to this video:
If the average person did not need to pay insane fees and taxes (bribes to the government) to start their own cab company, bus company, or hotel then the possible $1 fee for the Charm City Circulator would not be an issue. The government is the root cause of Baltimore's lack of economic freedom. Since we do live in a government dominated environment (for now) the solution to the Charm City Circulator issue is the government cutting costs buy letting the lowest bidder run the operation. The government also could audit the operation and probably find numerous places where the new parking tax revenue is not going to the Circulator like it is supposed to.
