 Transit union members, riders and transit allies gathered at Baltimore’s War Memorial last week to march to the Maryland Transit Administration’s (MTA) headquarters to protest changes to the city’s bus routes that have harmed riders and drivers. The struggling overhaul of the city’s bus system – BaltimoreLink – has created headaches for riders who must make more transfers and catch buses at different stops. The protesters called on Maryland Governor Larry Hogan and the MTA to revisit the changes, and add service and lines, “because right now,” says ATU Local 1300 President David McClure, “these people are not able to get where they need to be.”
