There will be a public meeting on June 11 to discuss ways to boost ridership on the bus between Piney Orchard and the MARC Station. Currently, the service gets only about 25 riders a day
A rush hour bus that shuttles commuters between Piney Orchard and the Odenton MARC Station could be eliminated due to low ridership, a county transportation planner said. The "M Route" bus, which costs $1 per ride and runs during peak MARC hours, averages fewer than 25 riders per day, which is not enough to justify its operation. County officials have scheduled a meeting for June 11 to seek feedback on ways to improve the service in order to boost ridership. "We're just frustrated," said George Cardwell, the transportation planning administrator for Anne Arundel County. "We're trying to do the right thing, but the fact of the matter is we're just not carrying enough passengers." Cardwell said the bus needs at least 40 or 50 passengers to …

A perfect example of why Obama's stimulus is an abject failure and a waste of $800 million plus dollars. This stupid bus route was doomed from the beginning, but Sen. Jim "If it's not taxed soon it will be" Rosapepe thought this was the greatest thing since sliced bread. What a loser. more ›
