FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 

BALTIMORE, MD (January 25, 2026) – Due to rapidly deteriorating road conditions caused by the winter storm, including icy and snow-covered roadways, the Maryland Transit Administration has announced the suspension of all Local Bus service beginning Sunday, January 25 at 8:00 p.m. This decision was made to protect the safety of riders and employees as conditions have become unsafe for bus operations.   

Service on the CityLink routes only is expected to resume at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, January 26.
