Transit updates from Maryland MTA, Long Island Rail Road and Caltrain
The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) has launched a new weekday Maryland Area Rail Commuter (MARC) service between Montgomery County and Baltimore. The new commuter-rail service directly connects Brunswick, Point of Rocks, Barnesville, Germantown, Metropolitan Grove, Gaithersburg, Rockville, Kensington, Silver Spring, College Park, Laurel and Baltimore, with one train traveling to Baltimore in the morning and one returning in the evening. The new MARC service will reduce commute times by up to an hour, making rail travel time competitive with drive times between those same destinations, MTA officials said in a press release. MTA adjusted existing services to provide the new connection, meaning there is no additional annual operating cost, they said.
