Today, September 25, 2024, listeners are advised to pay close attention to the latest updates from the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA). The MTA Maryland Alerts feed provides real-time information on service disruptions, delays, and other critical transportation updates relevant to all users of their services, including bus, rail, and commuter services.
Listeners should note that there are currently several alerts in effect that may impact their travel plans. First and foremost, there is a significant delay affecting the Baltimore Metro SubwayLink due to ongoing track maintenance. The maintenance work, which began earlier today, is expected to disrupt normal service throughout the afternoon and evening hours. Metro riders are urged to seek alternative transportation options and allow for additional travel time.
Additionally, the Light RailLink service is experiencing minor delays due to signal issues near the Hunt Valley station. Technicians are working to resolve the problem, but passengers should be prepared for potential interruptions in service along the Light RailLink line. Commuters relying on this service are encouraged to monitor the MTA Alerts for further updates as the situation develops.
Bus service is also seeing a few disruptions. Several routes, including the CityLink Red, Blue, and Brown lines, are experiencing delays caused by heavy traffic and road construction in various parts of the city. Listeners using these bus lines should expect extended wait times and potential reroutes. It’s recommended that passengers check the latest updates and consider alternative routes or departure times to minimize inconvenience.
The MARC Train service is currently operating with an advisory for all three lines—Penn, Camden, and Brunswick. Due to ongoing infrastructure improvements, there are sporadic delays on the Penn Line, particularly affecting trains traveling between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Camden Line passengers are also facing delays due to operational issues near the Camden Yards station. The Brunswick Line is experiencing minimal delays, but travelers should remain vigilant for any changes in schedules.
Listeners planning to use MTA Commuter Bus services should be aware that there are delays on routes 201 and 305 due to mechanical issues with some buses.

Riders on these routes are advised to stay informed through the MTA Alerts and prepare for possible disruptions.
For those relying on mobility services, there is currently no significant disruption reported, but all users are encouraged to stay informed of any sudden changes. Paratransit services are operating normally, but users should always plan ahead and confirm their rides to avoid any issues.
