Baltimore Metro SubwayLink

Video of Charm City's (Baltimore's) subway / underground / metro system. Opened in 1983 it runs from Johns Hopkins Hospital to Owings Mills.

The trains reach very high speed on this route. Apparently it’s the fastest rapid transit system in the country, which trains going up to 70 miles an hour

[@Cerby1979]

These Budd trains entered service on the same year the Budd trains for Miami’s Metrorail entered service. The Budd trains in Miami have since been retired.

I find this to be the most underrated subway system in the USA. I'm glad you got some footage on this system. Great video, new subscriber from Jersey City, New Jersey, USA.

[@MetropolitanStudiosLondon]

Thank you! I enjoyed taking a look around this system - it is pretty good, a nice smooth ride and easy to use. They need to build a couple of more lines like this to serve other parts of the city.

@@MetropolitanStudiosLondon Logically, an extension should be built to where both stadiums are. As it stands, the closest subway station is Charles Center; about a 15 minute walk.

Great video! Love the train! Choo choo!

[@ATLOV2013]

Idk why, but the subways in the video sound like the wmata 3000/4000 series

[@AngryGinger1108]

Bro i lived in glen burnie and Baltimore my whole life, 30 years.. never knew about this subway untill like 2 years ago i seen one of the entrances . Must be pretty good cause i NEVER hear of any crime in the subway. And i mean NEVER.

[@navyseal1689]

Bro, how the fuck you live in a city for 30 years without knowing there is a subway system

[@AngryGinger1108]

@@navyseal1689 never needed it. And they didnt do a very good job advertising.. its dead asf anyway. At most i ever seen was a few people on the train.

Well, it's a DEAD subway system so nothing happens. I've taken it before and I was the only person on my car for the entire trip.

[@AngryGinger1108]

@Dan Zena That actually sounds terrifying, to be the only one? Oh, hell no. Haha. I think they made a scary movie about that. Lol But yeah, that's what a lot of people around here say too, since I've asked about it. It just amazes me how there's not a homeless or drug epidemic going on down there with the way the majority of Baltimore is today.

[@Browptet]

4,000 passengers per day. Why is it so low??

[@julienfenouil5782]

The most useless route of all time

[@VigorousVirgo]

Half of bmore doesn't even know they have a subway

[@TheCinderDude]

both are right. I visited baltimore twicew and loved it but I think it could use a better subway system

[@rrc2141975]

COVID gutted ridership. Down about 75 percent from the late 2010s

[@GrafEisen1]

It's incredible how much the Baltimore metropolitan area underutilizes this railway, just seas of parking lots, single family homes, and low value land uses in general around most of the stations. Instead of trying to entice people to drive and park to use a 15 mile stretch of subway they should focus more on improving the places it goes to, with improved bus service to these stations, better pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, and MUCH more transit oriented developement. Baltimore is not wealthy, it should do a better job of using the resources it has.

[@MetropolitanStudiosLondon]

In London there is a LOT of transit-orientated development; so much so that it's often impossible to get on the trains. Let's hope that Baltimore does a better job of it. The subway stations could be a good focus for apartments, giving people easy access to jobs downtown.

[@HIDLad001]

I hear there might be some transit oriented development around Owings Mills, but I’m not too sure.

[@GrafEisen1]

@@HIDLad001 you should go on Google maps and see just how auto-oriented the space around "Metro Centre at Owings Mills" truly is, it's incredibly half hearted TOD (if at least better than nothing)

[@davidng2336]

I wonder when the new trains will be here…

[@entertainmenttv5201]

Hopefully this year

Yes

Nice video. Like me😃!

[@sandal_thong8631]

A lot of empty seats at time of filming. Must be a commuter rail and filmed outside of rush hour.
