LocalLink 38 (BaltimoreLink)
The LocalLink 38 route had the lowest on-time performance out of any route serving Baltimore City Schools during its operation prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was on-time for 40% of trips in October 2019, and 45.2% of trips in February 2020. The MTA considers a window of two minutes early to seven minutes late to be an on-time arrival. The LocalLink 38 was early more often than it was late prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the first week of service after reinstatement, from August 30 to September 3, 2021, on-time performance was 47.2%. These trips were late more often than they were early.
Performance
In Fall 2021, as Baltimore City Schools re-opened for in-person instruction, the MTA restored the LocalLink 38 route as a limited service for school trips on weekdays only.
