Beginning Sunday, July 12, the Maryland Department of Transportation
Maryland Transit Administration (MDOT MTA) will begin transitioning
from the service reductions first implemented March 17 under the
COVID-19 health emergency to more normal transit schedules.

On Sunday, July 12, the following service will be in effect:
Local Bus: Regular summer weekday/weekend schedule.
Express Bus service and LocalLinks 38 and 92 will remain suspended.
Boarding: Front-door boarding will resume.
Fare Collection: We encourage riders to utilize CharmPass and
CharmCard for a contact-free payment option to further protect our
customers and team members. Cash fare payments will also be accepted.
Seating will not be restricted; riders can do their part by
maintaining social distance where possible.
Operators may bypass stops to limit crowding on buses.

Light RailLink and Metro SubwayLink – Regular weekday/weekend schedules.

To continue to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, MDOT MTA reminds all
riders that face coverings are required when riding transit.
MDOT MTA also will continue enhanced disinfecting procedures of all
vehicles and stations including high-passenger touch point areas. In
addition to cleaning, MDOT MTA is updating features to include
retrofitting buses with plastic seats and air ionizers that will
further clean the air inside the bus.

A complete list of service changes is available at
mta.maryland.gov/coronavirus.
