- Hello!
In this lovely April 1st video, I ride "all" of the lines on the Baltimore Metro SubwayLink. Enjoy!

This video is a joke. Few of the “facts” given are true; assume all are false.
30 seconds in and this is unnecessarily cruel
Agreed bro Mentioned the lightrail and metro 🤦🏿♂️
Baltimore's Metro deserves so much better. It really could have been incredible. The plans were awesome. It would have rivalled the DC metro, and it clearly took its inspiration from the DC Metro. I want to love it, I really do, and parts of it I actually do love, especially those crazy stations, they're awesome. Hopefully someday the system will be finished.
Well done. Maryland is especially bad at building on prior successes, such as building density around Metro stations. Or its main train station. Or its MARC stations.
i got so sad hearing you describe what our transit could have been i am so disappointed
That was the shortes nathans transit journeys vid of all time, and i loved it 😅
In my opinion, the D.C. metro is the best metro in the whole country. It's clean, safe, and reliable.
Now add a line to Georgetown would be nice
@@mannashah2233I agree!
@@mannashah2233people that live in Georgetown don't want a subway system in the area because it attracts the wrong type of people.
@@AirrickRpeople that live in Georgetown don't want a subway system in the area because it attracts the wrong type of people.
Also i disagree with dc metro being reliable
@@pp3k3jamail a black man talking about the "wrong kind of people", the fucking irony
I live by Old Court. Our Metro sucks horribly.
God a 10 minute wait with those loud ass cars is brutal
It's worth noting that since Owings Mills is the terminus, most of your time waiting will actually be spent sitting inside a train during its layover, which helps dampen the noise
As a New Yorker, who has lived in Baltimore for years, I came to say WHHHHHHAAAAAAATT?!?!?
Seems like that subway system was built from a Life-Like model kit.
Baltimore always has to try harder, that is why I love it
Your title shocked me so deeply that I'm rage-watching
3:30 to be completely honest I think the majority of Baltimoreans are actually completely unaware we even have a subway. People know we have the lightrail but not the subway. I rode MARC for years before I knew lol. And I've still never made a useful trip out of it.
You had me fooled!
Also to add, you were in the boondocks! It’s like riding the LIRR at the last stop and thinking NYC is a village! lol! You’ve gotta go into the city to see people and buildings. So, at least south of reisterstown road. You may be afraid to go further and get off at say penn-north or Lexington market. But that’s where you’ll find people and buildings. When I travel, I stay clear of tourist areas and go straight to the communities where people live. Better tasting food and a much deeper understanding of the culture/city I am in. Have there been times things could’ve gotten out of hand? Yes, this is life, things can get out of hand in any place at any moment. 💯🤷🏾♂️ #travelSAFE
Hi! Yes, I did ride the entire line in my own time. I didn’t see anything sketchy in the system itself.
Old court is the Balt Metro's least used station so you took a journey that very few people do.
Thank You!
8 minutes is bad? I always had to wait 30 minutes for a bus in Baltimore. My first experience with bus transit is with RideOn in Montgomery Co MD, and I remember the max frequency being 15 minutes, and I always thought that was good, since I don't recall Baltimore buses ever being that frequent.
Every 15 isn’t good but in all honestly every 8-10 minutes isn’t terrible frequency at all. Lots of NYC subway routes run at about that frequency. Also side note but that map on the clear plastic is legitimately very cool looking
That is true but in many places 3-4 routes run along the same corridor so the frequency improves. I am sometimes surprised by how infrequent the subway is in certain sections when I visit.
@@nathantransitj this is true yeah, and I am coming from the perspective of living near the end of a line, but I would say that a lot of residents don't get that benefit
If you think 10 minutes is bad for a metro system try 30 minutes for the blue line on the RTA
Yeah, that’s insane.
I did not know they took SmarTrip! If I ever go I’ll keep that in mind
Awesome video.
If I recall the baltimore metro only uses unique right of way from johns hopkins to mondawmin. The rest was built on the cheap using an old freight corridor, which is why all the suburban stations suck ass and aren't located near anything.
The barriers are intended for the drivers protection
Same exact trains Miami Dade Metrorail uses.

kkkkkkkkk I fell for it
Man, don't joke like this, it is confusing.
