You can now scan the @mta.maryland.gov CharmPass on Metro! Our team completed this work in house, saving time and $$, to deliver this improvement for our riders now while we work on the longer term fare system replacement.

It's a gorgeous day in Baltimore! Taking @mta.maryland.gov means we don't have the worry about parking or pricey rideshares and we get an easy, safe ride.

Hey! Yes we had an update that is causing these issues. The team is working on addressing.

Heads up @mta.maryland.gov MARC riders. The Amtrak train is broken down in a spot where our trains can't pass. Amtrak is working to rescue the regional train and our team is assisting. We understand the frustration and inconvenience and are doing everything we can.

We won’t fully know what the max travel distance will be until battery simulations are run during the proposal process. While these are being purchased primary for Penn Line Service (including future service enhancements), we anticipate that they could operate some Camden and Brunswick Service.

1) Speed & maintenance facility changes are two big areas for us.

2) We operate service on three lines, two of which aren't electrified, and need the flexibility to run on all lines.

We're working on a few different avenues for cellular or wifi in the underground stations.

Hi! We looked pretty extensively at EMUs & it wasn't the best fit for our service. We are partnering with MBTA on a procurement for dual mode locos. It was advertised today.

Cameras, coming to a Baltimore bus lane near you Officials have yet to decide when the cameras will become active, but a grace period will be offered before tickets are issued, said a city Department of Transportation spokesperson.

Clear bus lanes are essential to moving a few hundred thousand people who take buses in Baltimore each day. Transit riders moving through the community in one of the most efficient ways possible deserve a smooth and speedy commute.

Whether you use it or not, better public transit makes your commute better A surprisingly small drop in cars on the road can dramatically ease congestion, and public transit is one way to get there.

People who don't ride transit should still support it.

Why? Because you can’t build your way out of traffic with more lanes, but you CAN transit your way out of it by giving others a better option.

Fewer cars = faster commutes for all. πŸšŒπŸ’¨ www.fastcompany.com/91493803/whe...

Good morning from the @mta.maryland.gov Metro! Lots of transit experts knew the Light Rail station yesterday, which of our Metro riders recognizes this mural?
