On the Move: An Update on BaltimoreLink

MTA Facebook page

High frequency buses, dedicated bus lanes, new routes - BaltimoreLink launched last June, a $135-million-dollar reboot of the city’s transit system. What is ridership like? Are buses running on time?

Kevin Quinn, head of the Maryland Transit Administration, gives us an update on service and technology changes. And transit activist and blogger Danielle Sweeney describes her work tracking no-show buses and fostering rider feedback.

Danielle Sweeney's crowd-funded project, 'Better Bus Baltimore' can be found here. Read her recent pieces about BaltimoreLink on Medium. Check out the Facebook group, 'Where's the Bus, Baltimore?'.  And find out more about the Central Maryland Transportation Alliances' course, Transit 101.

Winter service changes by the MTA are detailed here.
