MTA Transit Updates August 28 2024 Light Rail and Subway Delays MobilityLink Wait Times Traffic and Heat Advisory
Listeners, it is August 28, 2024, and here is the latest update from the Maryland Transit Administration. As of now, several service changes, delays, and important advisories are affecting transit operations today. Please be attentive to the following information to plan your travels accordingly.
The Light RailLink service is experiencing disruptions. Due to ongoing technical issues, there is a temporary cessation of operations between North Avenue and Camden Yards. Crews are working diligently to rectify the situation, but no specific restoration time has been announced. Shuttle bus services are being provided to accommodate passengers along this route.
The Metro SubwayLink is running behind schedule due to signal problems at the Johns Hopkins Hospital station. Engineers are on-site addressing the issue, and efforts are being made to restore normal service frequencies as swiftly as possible. Travelers using this service should expect some delays and plan for additional travel time.
The MARC Train services are currently experiencing delays on both the Brunswick Line and the Penn Line. On the Brunswick Line, a track obstruction near Dickerson is causing significant slowdowns. Crews are on the scene to clear the tracks, but an estimated delay time has not been provided. On the Penn Line, a mechanical issue with a train near the BWI Airport station is contributing to service delays. Maintenance teams are working to resolve the problem, but passengers may experience extended travel times.
MTA Bus services are also affected by several disruptions. Notably, the LocalLink 26 is on a detour due to road construction on Liberty Heights Avenue. Commuters should expect rerouted service and possible delays. Additionally, the CityLink Pink has reported delays due to heavy traffic congestion on Charles Street. Passengers are advised to stay updated via MTA communication channels for real-time service information.
For travelers using the MobilityLink service, there are reports of longer than usual wait times. The MTA attributes this to increased demand and advises MobilityLink users to schedule their rides well in advance to avoid potential delays.
In other news impacting the transit community, there is an advisory for all transit riders regarding weather conditions. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for the Baltimore area, with temperatures expected to reach dangerously high levels today. Passengers are urged to stay hydrated, carry sufficient water while traveling, and seek air-conditioned environments during their commutes.
Listeners are encouraged to sign up for text and email alerts through the Maryland Transit Administration's alert system for the most current updates. Real-time information is also available via official social media channels and the MTA website. Your patience and understanding are appreciated as the MTA works to resolve these issues and ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers.
Thanks for tuning in, and please stay safe and alert while traveling.
