New East-West bus route first step of Baltimore’s Red Line resurrection

A new bus route is the first moving step of Baltimore’s reimagined Red Line. The Quicklink 40 was initially mentioned in June as part of Gov. Wes Moore’s plan to resurrect the once-cancelled project to connect East and West Baltimore. “The new route is intended to provide expanded travel options for riders as plans take shape for the relaunched Red Line transit route,” the Maryland Department of Transportation said in a news release Wednesday.
