Jesus Christ re: the disabled person. Public transit is significantly more accessible. They wanna keep waiting for MTA Mobility five hours after Mobility said they would be there?

lol, why?

This map makes too much sense. It seems like there is an anti growth and development of the Baltimore area

^ Do not listen to this person.

I'm just north of the beltway on a side street just off of Dulaney Valley. I'm far enough away that a light rail down York Road would not necessarily impact me for good or bad. From Ridgely to the Circle is just under 3 miles of heavily commuted York rd. I can't envision how that could be done. You'd have to widen York rd or just get rid of the turn lane. I'd prefer the whole damn thing be a subway. Or, instead of a standard light rail, let's do some San Francisco style street cars. I would ride the shit out of those.

I’m for the subway as well - or the bus rapid transit system. Light rail is okay, but not ideal. I understand the concern of it running down two lane streets for several blocks, but I also don’t think we should halt progress for four blocks worth of road.

I’ve lived abroad, I’ve seen BRTs, and subways, and trams, and have ridden all of the above. The American car brain mindset grinds my gears. People really can’t wrap their heads around how great public transit can be because their only frame of reference is the light rail ride to Camden Yards four times a year.

He's not going to make it happen

It’ll be interesting to see the disappointment you all will have in Gov.-Elect Moore in eight years. You all voted for him like he was the Second Coming.

Nah, I can't buy a hand crafted Sword at IKEA

MDOT has several different proposals they're surveying right now (https://rtpcorridors.com/)- the majority of them are Bus Rapid Transit (some completely seperate from traffic, asome not), but there's a couple of Light Rails and one Metro

15 years ago at my warehouse in Linthicum I hired somebody who lived in Baltimore. All my other employees were from Anne Arundel County. That poor thing had use public transport and it took her two hours to get to work and two hours to get home every day.

Yes!!! Would be so much easier for getaways when I mug someone.

Omg-take it from Hamilton to Bwi with 1 transfer.

What if we took all this money and just made the MTA buses in the city run on 5 minute headways rather than trying to build trains for county residents who don't want it and won't ride it?

white marsh is still an ikea at any rate

Slainte, Abbey Burger, Calladagh’s, Todd Conners, Venice Tavern, are all known for soccer.

That southwestern yellow line would be sweet.

I would go to the city more and spend money there if I could get public transportation, and I live only 20m away from the Harbor. I loathe driving through cities - there's people everywhere, tons of merging and one ways, you have to read a paragraph on a sign to figure out how to park unless you shell out $20 to get in a garage.

If you live in town center you do not need a car. I wouldn't be surprised if 20% of the people who live there work from home lol. Get their groceries delivered and everything

Well, I am relatively new here, but I live in White marsh/perry hall and would LOVE for the green line. I hate driving in the city so much.

Anti-Baltimore sentiment is a huge obstacle to functional transit in the region. I think Baltimore's only hope of getting a decent local transit system is to sneak it into a regional rail system servicing the entire Baltimore-Washington area. Unfortunately the MTA keeps proposing mediocre projects that rile up the racists but fail to get anyone excited.

That would be awesome if they managed it. Would definitely enable that corridor to be used for local rail too which would be awesome.
