Designed to connect commuters to work centers, new express routes are slated to become effective June 19. The first phase of implementation includes improvements to the MTA express bus service, which hits stops at Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) and University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) in Catonsville. The goal is also to better integrate local and express routes with Amtrak, MARC train, commuter bus, light rail and Metro subway service, provide better customer service and cleaner buses. Maryland Department of Transportation is rolling out a redesigned transit system called BaltimoreLink, which officials say will expand and improve service.

Hopefully, your ride will be on time, more efficient and more pleasant. If you use bus transportation in the northwest, it is likely that your commute between the city and county includes travel on Security Boulevard, Liberty Road or Reisterstown Road.
