Fall 2025 Service Adjustments

QuickLink 40 is proposed to extend all trips to CMS towards on the west end of the route and to Fox Ridge on east end. The extension would provide limited stop service along existing CityLink Blue and CityLink Orange alignments, alleviating crowding that occurs during peak periods and reducing travel times for riders making longer trips on the corridor.

Service on the west end of QuickLink 40 would be extended along Cooks Lane and continue along Security Boulevard to CMS. QuickLink 40 service to the Westgate stop would be discontinued.

In addition to an alignment change, QuickLink 40 would receive level of service increases, operating every 15 minutes from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and new weekend service every 20 minutes.

LocalLink 63 is proposed to run all trips to Gardenville instead of the current configuration where select trips go to Gardenville and all others end at Johns Hopkins-Bayview. Running all LocalLink 63 trips to Gardenville will increase the level of service on LocalLink 63 north of Johns Hopkins-Bayview and make transfers easier to frequent routes serving major corridors across Baltimore including CityLink Brown, CityLink Pink, LocalLink 28, and LocalLink 30. LocalLink 63 service to stops at Alpha Commons Drive at Alpha Center (Stop ID #12175), Cassell Drive & Triad Tech Center - Bayview Medical Center (Stop ID #4098), and Eastern Avenue & Umbra Street (Stop ID #1918) would be discontinued. However, all route transfer options at Johns Hopkins-Bayview would still be available.

LocalLink 87 is proposed to be extended to end all trips on its north end at Reisterstown Regional Park. The realignment was requested by the public and would provide riders with additional access to recreational facilities in the greater Baltimore area. As a result of this realignment, service to Glyndon Loop (Stop ID #1107), the current northern terminus of LocalLink 87, would be discontinued.

MTA’s analysis shows that CityLink Yellow experiences reliability and operational issues during peak and evening time periods. To address these issues, MTA is proposing to truncate CityLink Yellow at Guilford Avenue & Centre Street and extend frequent service on LocalLink 91 downtown to Pratt Street & Greene Street. Service on both routes would overlap along Pratt Street and Lombard Street to allow riders to continue to reach Downtown from both the north and south. The proposed LocalLink 91 will also provide increased service between Sinai Hospital and Mondawmin and a one-seat ride from areas north of Mondawmin to downtown.

CityLink Yellow is proposed to be truncated at Guilford Avenue & Centre Street and discontinue service north of the stop to improve reliability on the route. Service between E Saratoga Street and Mondawmin would be shifted to an extended LocalLink 91, which will operate at a similar frequency and span of service along the same route. No changes are proposed to weekday or weekend service frequencies or span of service on the CityLink Yellow.

LocalLink 91 is proposed to be extended from its current terminal at Mondawmin to Pratt Street & Greene Street in Downtown to replace truncated service on the CityLink Yellow. LocalLink 91 would preserve frequent service along CityLink Yellow’s current route between Mondawmin and Downtown, operating every 15 minutes all day from 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Weekdays. The proposal would also increase service between Sinai Hospital and Mondawmin on Weekdays from 40 to 30 minutes. The extended route would provide additional one-seat connections to downtown. Proposed LocalLink 91 service would operate during the same hours that CityLink Yellow currently operates.

Additional trips are proposed to be added during the Saturday daytime period between 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. on the CityLink Navy. The additional trips would alleviate crowding. There are no proposed changes to Saturday span of service.

Additional trips are proposed to be added to the LocalLink 28. Additional trips during the Sunday daytime period are proposed to provide a more consistent level of service throughout the week. There are no proposed changes to weekday or Sunday span of service.

Additional trips are proposed to be added to the LocalLink 80. Additional trips all day on weekdays are proposed to improve service and customer satisfaction. There are no proposed changes to weekday span of service.

Additional afternoon trips are proposed to be added to Express BusLink 103, with service now starting at 3:00 p.m. instead of 4:00 p.m. The additional trips are meant to provide riders flexibility and help alleviate crowding observed on CityLink Green trips during the 3:00 p.m. hour.

Additional afternoon trips are proposed to be added to Express BusLink 154, with service now starting at 3:00 p.m. instead of 4:00 p.m. The additional trips are meant to provide riders flexibility and help alleviate crowding observed on LocalLink 54 trips during the 3:00 p.m. hour.
