Public Transportation
When the mall opened in 1981, the mall was served by a minimal amount of public transportation. The no. 120 express bus provided rush hour service only geared mostly to commuters traveling downtown from White Marsh, and the No. 15 Line offered just six trips each on weekdays and Saturdays.
During the 1990s, the Maryland Transit Administration began to express these concerns. In 1997, The No. 35 Line was extended to White Marsh Mall. Though it only offered service on weekdays, hourly during rush hour, and every 2–3 hours at all other times, it was an improvement.
In 2001, the no. 35 line's schedule was improved to provide hourly service to White Marsh, seven days a week.
In 2005, MTA extended all No. 35 line trips to White Marsh, and since then, service has been provided by this line every 15 minutes during weekday rush hour, and every 30 minutes at all other times, seven days a week.
In 2007, MTA added hourly service on Bus Route 15 weekdays and Saturdays to White Marsh.
In 2011, MTA extended service Bus Route 58 to White Marsh Mall. Service is hourly 7 days per week.
Megabus operates its main Baltimore stop at White Marsh Mall with service to Boston, Buffalo, Hampton VA, Harrisburg PA, Philadelphia, Richmond VA, Secaucus NJ, Toronto, and Washington DC. The stop is located in a small parking lot off the mall ring road near Macy's. The Baltimore stop for service to New York City is located at White Marsh Park and Ride.

Famous quotes containing the word public:
“Once, when lying in bed with no paper at hand, he began to sketch the idea for a new machine on the back of his wife’s nightgown. He asked her if she knew the figure he was drawing. “Yes,” she answered, “the figure of a fool.””
