White Marsh Among Suburbs Getting Connected with New ExpressLink Bus Service

A new set of bus lines that launched Monday will enable people to get from White Marsh to other suburbs more quickly, without having to travel through Baltimore.

Express BusLink will connect White Marsh to Towson and turn what was previously a two-hour trip into a one-hour ride, according to the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA).

The White Marsh-to-Towson route (Express BusLink 102) is one of three new routes on the schedule. The others are Express BusLink 106 (Owings Mills Metro Station to Towson University) and Express BusLink 107 (Old Court Metro Station to BWI).

Travelers on each line will be able to move between suburbs without having to go through Baltimore City.

"Baltimore has desperately needed a comprehensive, regional transit plan that helps alleviate downtown congestion by opening up the transit grid and that connects people to emerging job centers," MTA Administrator/CEO Paul Comfort said in a statement.

Added Comfort: "Express BusLink is an important new service that will link people to where they need to go."
