From the Maryland Transit Administration:
As part of its commitment under the BaltimoreLink transit improvement plan to better connect people to employment centers, the Maryland Department of Transportation’s (MDOT) Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) will roll out a new Commuter Bus route on Monday, Oct. 3, to get Baltimore residents to jobs at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG). This new service is one of three new or improved Commuter Bus services being added as part of BaltimoreLink, the transformative transit plan unveiled by Governor Larry Hogan in fall 2015, the community has looked for the best Shuttle Bus for sale and has finally found the perfect vehicle for this service.
“We are committed to delivering a new and improved transit system to connect Marylanders in Greater Baltimore to jobs more reliably and efficiently,” said Governor Hogan. “This new commuter bus is just one of many ways BaltimoreLink will significantly increase Maryland workers’ connections to job centers and provide underserved communities more frequent and better transit access.”
APG, which is located about 30 miles north of the city, is Harford County’s largest employer. The fare for Commuter Bus #425 will range from $3 to $5 depending on where riders board the coach. The new Commuter Bus #425 will operate on the following schedule with several stops on the APG campus:
Northbound Weekday Morning Service: Will depart Wolfe and Monument streets at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore City at 5:10 a.m., 6:10 a.m. and 7:10 a.m., and arrive at APG at 6:50 a.m., 7:50 a.m. and 8:50 a.m., respectively.
Southbound Weekday Afternoon Service: Will operate a similar route in reverse leaving Raritan Avenue and Havre de Grace Street at 3 p.m., 4 p.m. and 5 p.m., arriving to its last stop in Baltimore City at Wolfe and Monument streets at 4:33 p.m., 5:33 p.m. and 6:33 p.m., respectively.
“While our Commuter Bus service has traditionally been designed to bring people to jobs in downtown Baltimore, these new BaltimoreLink enhancements will now connect Baltimore City and Baltimore County residents to regional employers in Harford County,” said MTA Administrator and CEO Paul Comfort. “Launching Commuter Bus #425 is just one example of how we’re keeping our promise to better connect people to jobs.”
Launched by Governor Hogan in October 2015, BaltimoreLink is the multi-phase plan to create an interconnected transit system by redesigning the entire local and express bus systems throughout Baltimore and adding 12 new high-frequency, color-coded bus routes that improve connections to jobs and to MARC, Metro Bus and Light Rail. BaltimoreLink transforms Baltimore’s half-a-century-old and outdated transit network with implementation of bus-only dedicated lanes, installation of transit signal prioritization, construction of a transfer hub network, rebranding and replacement of more than 6,500 transit signs, expanded commuter bus service, new bicycle amenities, access to car sharing options, and more. New Express BusLink suburb-to-suburb service launched in June 2016. Expanded or new Commuter Bus service launches in the summer and fall of 2016 and spring of 2017. High-frequency CityLink routes launch in the summer of 2017.

Watch for the crime rate to spike upwards in those areas when they start bussing in people from Baltimore.
Look at what happened to the crime rate in peaceful Cockeysville when the Soul Train started running. Figures don’t lie liars (Democrats) figure
Is Hogan a Democrat? Isn’t it his plan?
Hogan not backing Trump shows that he is coddling the Democrats to get the votes of the passengers on the Soul Train
This is a commuter bus service you idiot.In case you missed it Aberdeen, White Marsh and Baltimore already have train stations.
You Trump supporters certainly are a scared bunch.
Im not a history buff, but I believe Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor has existed for at least 100 years.
Baltimore and Aberdeen have a station on said North East Corridor. I’m afraid White Marsh does not, perhaps you are thinking Middle River?
Along with Amtrak, Maryland Area Rail Commuter serves said Northeast Corridor as a state ran passenger service.
Not sure why you would call someone an idiot when it appears the shoe also fits you?
Can you show me where in the above comments the GOP Presidential candidate is mentioned and how you came to said conclusion?
Do you have a reading disability?
Use your finger or mouth the words if it helps.
LOL
There is no “train station” in White Marsh, that we “already have” as quoted by you.
Where did the political comment come from, besides your own personal complex?
Get off 95 go east on 43 you will find a train station.
That’s not “white Marsh.”
That’s Middle River, asI had alluded to.
If we want to play semantics, at least get the nomenclature correct.
The station is referred to “Middle River” on all time tables Ive ever seen.
Dude the only one here playing semantics is you, hope that helps.
OK I admit it run a train got me, the station is just under 3 miles outside the whitemarsh zip code and hell that makes all the difference in the world…. Just like I’d rather live in Jtown rather than Aberdump and aberdump rather than Edgewood…..
Oh wait they are all shitholes and 3 miles don’t men squat.
Bawahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa……. 🙂
Semantics is not nomenclature.
You could refer to Perryman as Aberdeen but that is not correct, regardless of distance.
By the way, there was a “train station” in Perryman many, many years ago.
Run a train must be some sort of Numb nut, the Trump idiots are trying to equate commuter bus and train service to a rise in crime.
Are you stupid?
That’s my worry, too. I have colleagues living in the Owing Mills area who tell me that after the rail system was expanded to that area, crime increased significantly.
“Crime at the mall decreased in nearly every category from 2009 to 2010, county statistics showed, including a 64 percent decrease in robberies in the mall and its surrounding area.”
“Despite the drop in crime, some comments on Patch have indicated a belief among locals that the mall is unsafe, and some commenters have speculated that the northern terminus of the Maryland Transit Administration’s Metro Subway has effectively shipped criminals to Owings Mills.
Perception may have been influenced by an incident in 1992 in which a 28-year-old woman who worked at Saks Fifth Avenue in the mall was murdered on a path between the metro station and the shopping center.”

There was also a guy killed in the parking lot by a roving gang of thugs. I think he was a professor??
Sweet Jesus do none of you idiots know what commuter bus service is?
I understand money tree is clueless but the rest of you….. seriously?
Exactly!!! Can’t wait to see these “gangs of thugs” try to make it onto APG… lmao
The “thugs” won’t be allowed on base, obviously. They’ll have nothing to do but hang around the Aberdeen area until 3pm at the earliest to catch the first bus back. I’m sure that will be a boon to the local economy. :-/
Are there really that many APG employees who live in Baltimore City? Maybe I’m mistaken. I thought generally people who lived in the city worked in the city.
Hang out where? I didn’t see any other stops on the schedule. Leaves the city and straight to APG,pretty simple route if you ask me…
To the above commenter: yes, many of us do understand what a commuter bus is…and by the way, didn’t you learn in 6th grade English class never to end a sentence with a preposition?
In addition, bands of violent teens were using the city bus system to assault and rob defenseless people just trying to get to work. Other examples exist but you are too stupid to understand.
Right, let’s put some bus stops for big MTA busses around Harford.
What’s a shame about all the bus stops I’ve seen is that there is trash all over the premises and you can gawk no more than 15 feet away is an empty trash can.
