New core bus routes go into effect Sunday for fall, Maryland Transit Administration says

The Maryland Transit Administration changed its core bus routes for the fall starting on Sunday. The agency created the QuickLink 40 route, running from Essex to Westgate and expected to eliminate about 25 minutes of travel time for riders who currently use the CityLink Blue and CityLink Orange lines. With more buses making fewer stops, the QuickLink 40 offers weekday service every 20 to 30 minutes from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. along existing CityLink Blue and Orange routes. Those lines are staying the same.
