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.<ref name=":0" />
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.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bin |first=Nancy ChandlerThe Recycle |date=2023-08-15 |title=The Recycle Bin: Travel lightly on Earth |url=https://www.pressherald.com/2023/08/15/the-recycle-bin-travel-lightly-on-earth/ |access-date=2023-09-10 |website=Press Herald}}</ref> Connections are also made to the Metro BREEZ express bus to and from Portland, the state's most populous city.<ref name=":1" />
