  Since it started five years ago The Charm City Circulator has accumulated a deficit of more than $11 million dollars, and without changes will continue to run millions in the red. We talk about the future of free bus rides with William Johnson, head of the city's Department of Transportation.

Then – The ‘Benjamin Banneker Historical Park and Museum’ in Catonsville  as part of its exhibition From Banneker to Douglass: The Quests for Freedom and Equality is hosting a discussion tomorrow of the role of citizens in preserving American freedom. Tom Hall talks with Robert Bell, former Chief Judge on the Maryland Court of Appeals, and historian Dr. Jean Baker. 

Plus: Researchers at Johns Hopkins have identified a unique pattern in the brains of soldiers injured by roadside bombs. We ask the lead scientist, Vassilis Koliatos,  what it may explain about the challenges facing veterans returned from combat.
