yeah it's safe, as long as you go down Remington Ave to get in from Hampden. rather than going all the way to the bottom of Keswick and taking 29th: you want to spend as little time on 28th and 29th as possible, as they are currently extremely unsafe with speeding drivers getting into crashes with each other, pedestrians, and even buildings seemingly every other week.

Good to know, thanks! The stations I used between going in and out were State Center, Penn North, and Mondawmin - can't remember which was the really bad one

I've taken the metro twice in the last 2 years. Both times I arrived 5 minutes before a train was supposedly arriving, and had to wait literally 45 minutes for the train to actually show, and the smell in the station was truly something else. Don't know if it was like that in the early 2010s, but I can see why people would try not to use it now

So? I've been on one-way streets with buses and cars breaking down before, you can just go to the next street over. In any case, there would be space for 2 bus lanes (one in each direction), wider sidewalks, and bike lanes, because there wouldn't be taxpayer-funded parking spaces everywhere

Absurd that cars are allowed on Charles and St Paul at all through most of the city tbh, they should have just one lane for buses then wider sidewalks with space for restaurants and bars to expand into the street and bike lanes

This is actually a great example of how speed limits aren't really relevant if your street design is right - people generally drive at a speed which feels right rather than to the legal limit, and this is narrow and uneven and cluttered enough that everyone will naturally slow down anyway. We should make more Baltimore car lanes similarly narrow and cluttered!

To get on green from JHU shuttle you'd need to switch before the Green turns off Charles onto N Avenue. I would probably get off at Penn Station then take either Red, Green or 51, whichever is coming first according to the Transit App
