Baltimore Riders Show Up: Transit Ridership Ranks Among the Highest in Peer Cities

The short version: Ahoy, Baltimore! Baltimore ranks among the highest in transit ridership per capita when compared with 20 peer cities, according to a new report from the Baltimore Metropolitan Council — proof that Charm City really rides.

The council compared Baltimore with cities such as Detroit, Minneapolis–Saint Paul, Denver, Indianapolis, Orlando, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Charlotte. In the same peer comparison, Baltimore also ranks sixth in total population and fifth in the share of adults with a college degree — a reminder that Charm City’s buses, light rail and subway carry a big share of how the region gets to work and play.
