    Baltimore's Metro deserves so much better. It really could have been incredible. The plans were awesome. It would have rivalled the DC metro, and it clearly took its inspiration from the DC Metro. I want to love it, I really do, and parts of it I actually do love, especially those crazy stations, they're awesome. Hopefully someday the system will be finished.

    In my opinion, the D.C. metro is the best metro in the whole country. It's clean, safe, and reliable.

    Well done. Maryland is especially bad at building on prior successes, such as building density around Metro stations. Or its main train station. Or its MARC stations.

    The Baltimore subway is the only one in the world to have lost population along its route in the city, from a peak of almost 1 Million to around 550,000 now and that is with some new arrivals for jobs at Johns Hopkins and people from Central America. 600,000 locals left.

      It's worth noting that since Owings Mills is the terminus, most of your time waiting will actually be spent sitting inside a train during its layover, which helps dampen the noise

    Also to add, you were in the boondocks! It’s like riding the LIRR at the last stop and thinking NYC is a village! lol! You’ve gotta go into the city to see people and buildings. So, at least south of reisterstown road. You may be afraid to go further and get off at say penn-north or Lexington market. But that’s where you’ll find people and buildings. When I travel, I stay clear of tourist areas and go straight to the communities where people live. Better tasting food and a much deeper understanding of the culture/city I am in. Have there been times things could’ve gotten out of hand? Yes, this is life, things can get out of hand in any place at any moment. 💯🤷🏾‍♂️ #travelSAFE

  • @cornkopp2985
    @cornkopp2985 4 месяца назад +1

    If I recall the baltimore metro only uses unique right of way from johns hopkins to mondawmin. The rest was built on the cheap using an old freight corridor, which is why all the suburban stations suck ass and aren't located near anything.

  • @garrettmillard525
    @garrettmillard525 4 месяца назад +1

    3:30 to be completely honest I think the majority of Baltimoreans are actually completely unaware we even have a subway. People know we have the lightrail but not the subway. I rode MARC for years before I knew lol. And I've still never made a useful trip out of it.

    Every 15 isn’t good but in all honestly every 8-10 minutes isn’t terrible frequency at all. Lots of NYC subway routes run at about that frequency. Also side note but that map on the clear plastic is legitimately very cool looking

    • @nathantransitj
      @nathantransitj  6 месяцев назад

      That is true but in many places 3-4 routes run along the same corridor so the frequency improves. I am sometimes surprised by how infrequent the subway is in certain sections when I visit.

  • @DanielP-jq4dj
    @DanielP-jq4dj 3 месяца назад

    8 minutes is bad? I always had to wait 30 minutes for a bus in Baltimore. My first experience with bus transit is with RideOn in Montgomery Co MD, and I remember the max frequency being 15 minutes, and I always thought that was good, since I don't recall Baltimore buses ever being that frequent.

    "was this really necessary" ... well yeah it's necessary or they wouldn't have done it. There have been people fall/get stuck between cars and on the tracks. In the same way that warning labels on packages are only there because someone did something that would require a warning label.
