History
Route 56 has only been operating under this designation since February 17, 2008. Its route, however, has a long history of being served by other bus and streetcar lines.
The no. 56 designation was once previously used in Baltimore transit history for a line that operated from Murray Hill (near Rodgers Forge) to Bedford Square (near Charles Village). This line operated from 1948 to 1953 before being merged into the current Route 11, the main bus route for the Charles Street corridor.
