Reply to comment by gaytee in First time seeing the 2002 Baltimore Region Rail Map. Moore, make it happen! by A_Damn_Millenial

As a Baltimore resident who works in HOCO/MOCO, I would rather see express lanes on I-95 be added than a rail line added to connect Baltimore-Columbia. The masses who sit in traffic on 95 between 198 and 695 interchange would agree

More car lanes are not the answer.

The problem is Maryland cannot properly operate a functioning rail system. I’ve given up on using light rail link after my last trip from BWI. I waited over 55 minutes for a train to arrive when the schedule online stated for 3 cars to depart in that period. The passengers that day also were another reason. I was approached three different times at the BWI terminal asking for money and then a man in his 40s had a baby who might have been no older than 3 weeks old in a stroller, screaming and crying the entire ride and did nothing about it. I’ll be taking an Uber or taxi to BWI from here on out ✌🏻

Also express toll lanes are being added in the DC region on I-270 and I-495, when DC already has Metro that connects all of the areas where express lanes are being added.
