MARC adds weekday link between Montgomery County and Baltimore, cutting several commutes

The Maryland Transit Administration will launch a weekday MARC train connection between Montgomery County and Baltimore starting Sept. 28, funded without additional annual costs by reconfiguring existing services. Travel times drop significantly (e.g., Silver Spring–Baltimore Camden Station from 118 to 57 minutes; Germantown–College Park from ~90 to 46; Gaithersburg–Baltimore Camden Station from ~137 to 78), with direct links to Brunswick, Point of Rocks, Barnesville, Germantown, Metropolitan Grove, Gaithersburg, Rockville, Kensington, Silver Spring, College Park, Laurel and Baltimore. The schedule includes one morning departure to Baltimore and one return in the evening, and some Brunswick and Camden Line trains will be adjusted. The page also contains a separate Maryland redistricting story.

MARC Launches Direct Baltimore-to-Montgomery County Rail Link

MARC will launch a weekday direct one-seat rail link from Montgomery County to Baltimore starting Sept. 28, allowing Brunswick and Camden line trains to run through without transfers and reducing commute times by up to an hour. The service will connect communities including Gaithersburg, Rockville, Germantown, Laurel and others to Baltimore with morning and evening trains. Schedules on the Brunswick and Camden lines will be adjusted to accommodate the new connection, which MDTA says comes without additional annual operating costs, with plans to expand frequency and add stops in the future.
