We rank Baltimore's public transit system after exploring the city using only buses, subway, light rail, and ferries, finding unexpected strengths in frequency, connectivity, and customer service.
• Baltimore offers free harbor ferry service that locals actually use for commuting
• The city runs frequent crosstown buses with impressive 10-minute headways
• Multiple transit employees proactively helped us navigate the system
• The subway features massive, brutalist stations designed for connections that were never built
• The Red Line project may utilize the "Highway to Nowhere" corridor for future light rail expansion
• Regional connectivity via MARC and Amtrak provides excellent access to DC, Philadelphia and beyond
