Riding the Baltimore Subway & Light Rail Lines

Hey guys! I'm continuing my videos about different city's public transportation networks with Baltimore, Maryland's light rail and subway lines, named the Light RailLink and the Metro SubwayLink. While Baltimore by no means has a good public transportation network, I think these two lines serve their purposes well. My personal preference would have to be the Light Rail line as it goes to many of the important places downtown as well as BWI and other beautiful nature spots. I find that lots of people ride the light rail much more than the subway, but just could've been the days I filmed this. Definitely try out both the subway and light rail in Baltimore if you're ever in the area! Very cheap ways of getting around. Hope you guys enjoy!

This single line subway despertly need an expansion.

[@jakealden2517]

It was ready to go and paid for, but Gov. Hogan stopped the project.

[@sitdowndogbreath]

@@jakealden2517 is he the current governor 2020

[@sitdowndogbreath]

@Quinell Sheppard it's too late they have their shot and fucking blew it by the end of next year do you think anybody's going to have any money

[@sitdowndogbreath]

@Quinell Sheppard I'm sorry to bust your bubble You Had Your Shot the boat sailed away and nobody cares about West Baltimore which kind of represents Baltimore it's very unfortunate

[@CutterDriftwood]

You ain't kidding!

[@jakealden2517]

Thanks for posting. Baltimore's streetcar or light rail line is clean, efficient, safe, and cheap. You really don't need a car in Baltimore. There's a free bus for tourists that takes you to all of the city's attractions, a water taxi system, extensive bus system, and of course the small subway.

[@jakealden2517]

@Zanda Williams There are buses all over the city. You may have to walk a little bit to get to the station, but the buses practically run all over the city.

[@CrabMan2539]

There's only 1 subway line and light rail line and the bus lines are awful. You'd be extremely lucky to not need a car in Baltimore. Also, having been on both the light rail and subway several times, they are not clean. 7/eleven cups (leaving drink stains) and candy wrappers are always on the floor and the seats are sometimes wet.

[@transitdude3352]

I never knew Baltimore had a subway!

[@301jerm]

this subway has soo much potential cause bmore is soo big

[@peabody1976]

I so hate Gov. Hogan for focusing on roads at the expense (literally) of public transit. The Subway needs to be extended to Morgan State, and the Red Line needs to be re-instated as a project.

[@stevenkelly9731]

Driving back on 50 I was telling my wife the same thing.He's in the pockets of some road building corp to build a unessesery and unwanted expansion of a highway that will destroy a beautiful community and not eliviate traffic but add more traffic.This is the same backwards 1950s , 1960s car sprawling crap thinking that's made public transportation in the country a joke to a lot of other nations that uses and thinks ahead. Not some outdated sprawl n crawl widening car stuck road way of thinking.

[@bennyszalecki8157]

Yeah and he’s adding the light rail for dc.

[@stevenkelly9731]

@@bennyszalecki8157 Maryland has nothing to do with light rail for DC...different jurisdiction .and state.If you are referring to the MTA Purple line ...that's all Maryland linking up to DMV Metro and not one segment of that will be in DC.

[@CrabMan2539]

I'm hoping for more public rail transit under Gov. Wes Moore. I've heard he's already re-approved the red line project (tho tweaking needs to be done since new development has taken some spaces of the original planned line). I'm also hoping at some point we get several more subway lines and if I dare say, bring back the street cars we lost in 1963.

[@happyburger23]

The Red Line's back in business as of this year!

[@BRYCONIC]

I love Baltimore so much

[@SigmaRho2922]

The subway was closed for a month due to repairs.

[@jg-7780]

The guy at 6:30 seems to be showing off his GTA walk!

[@kokofunni6188]

lol yeah

[@TheCloakedTiger]

They have the same fare gates and horns as BART.

[@larailfan1714]

Very true.

[@timosha21]

I'm a tram and I approve this video! :O

[@bexsitarivera3003]

Wow i really like it. that was a fun adventure.

[@Dyl.2icy]

Aye Bmore stand up💜💜

[@SuperUnbenannt]

Lol a good public transport system in the USA, never thought to see this

[@theangrycynic4389]

It's actually the most poorly managed and underutilized transit system in the country. Other cities like Minneapolis have much better systems in place. NYC has the best however.

[@zareh7740]

@@theangrycynic4389 in the uk every major city and town has a commuter rail network. London has every rail transport system you can think of. 1. London Undeground 2. London Overground. 3. Docklands light railway 4 Tramlink 5. National Rail commuter network. 6. National Rail inter city network. All these 6 networks in london run frequent services. They cover the whole city, the suburbs, and outer counties. On the inter city network which is like the usa amtrak you can travel to destinations from london to over 300 miles away up the country to other cities and towns. We have the 3rd largest rail system in europe. I feel america is way behind on rail infrastructure compared to europe. You only have 6 hst lines in the usa. We have about 20 hst lines in the uk.

[@happyburger23]

@@zareh7740 The only HST lines I can think of are: - Northeast Corridor (125+ MPH) - Brightline (Florida, 125ish MPH) - The Chicago to St. Louis High(er) Speed Rail corridor (110 MPH as of June 26, 2023) - Brightline West (Las Vegas, NV to Ranchocoucomonga, CA; ground broke on that yesterday) - California HSR (LA to Bakersfield; under construction) - Texas Central HSR (Northern Texas and Houston; Planning phase, currently)

[@Cerby1979]

They use the same type of trains that are in use for the Metrorail in Miami.

[@jackconley4668]

also, thejazzguy, I came to your channel just because of airplanes. that made me your biggest fan. KEEP UP THE AMAZING VIDEO WORK!! ✈

[@jackconley4668]

Also, is American Eagle part if American Airlines? or different airlines?

[@thejazzguy13]

Yah it's all American, just AE is operated by Mesa, Republic, Envoy...

[@jg-7780]

Where do you get the background music from?

[@TPAspotter]

Very nice. metro tour. Liked.

[@thejazzguy13]

Thanks man!

[@sunny_868]

The public transit is a very nice way to get around baltimore, the light rail is very nice however I wish the subway would get a expansion

[@user-ko2ig2hh7r]

Nice network, just wish it was more extensive and got some better frequency.

[@davidb2830]

4:08 What sing was that?

[@SCGB127]

why does the horns sound like bart

[@cemali_D]

nice video what time does this thing start at the morning ?

[@thejazzguy13]

I believe around 4am

[@cemali_D]

@@thejazzguy13 ok that's good thank you so much

[@jmheavymetal]

Those trains look really old.

[@essiemartin3313]

It's unrealistic how cheap it is for transit in Baltimore.🤑

[@grantechsweng5268]

4$ fare the taxpayer pays 24$ each person each day.

[@pauledwards2817]

Just goes to prove that not matter how good public transport is, people with cars will always use them. For one public transport is beneath them and the grid locked journey in a car is a blessed time inside a bubble alone where they can escape demanding families and work. A haven between work time and home time to just be alone, a small world but one that is all yours and you can do what every you want.

Good thing you did not get murdered in Charm City (Baltimore) 👍

[@happyburger23]

Homicides have been decreasing a ton since the pandemic.

[@grantechsweng5268]

md tax payers pay 88% of each ride. not cost effective for a city that was 1 million now down to less than 550000. look up the term Farebox recovery metric.
