Though ridership lags, regular users depend on Baltimore light rail’s low-cost regional access
On a scalding hot weekday morning, Baltimore-area residents boarded the region’s light rail line running from Hunt Valley south to BWI Marshall Airport and Glen Burnie. Doors malfunctioned, conversations were interrupted by incessant honking, cigarettes and empty alcohol containers lay scattered across the floors, and people spaced out across a half-full train car muttered loudly about delays. But those who use the state-supported transit service depend on it. They say it’s not only the safest and most reliable way to get where they’re going, but also the only way they can afford. Those are also some of the reasons Gov. Wes Moore is reviving the east-west Red Line light rail project almost a decade after then-Gov. Larry Hogan nixed it in 2015, instead opting to improve the state’s roads. Throughout the morning and afternoon, the train shuttled workers at Napa Auto Parts, Royal Farms, Delta and Southwest Airlines to and from work. It offered a calm and air-conditioned environment for homeless residents to visit their favorite library, a vehicle for moms to take kids on shopping excursions downtown, and a shelter for air travelers from the rain and lightning on the final leg of their journey home.
