I was encouraged on my walk to work this morning when I saw a bus driving up Calvert Street. It seems some public transportation is again operating.

The Maryland Transit Administration says it's still really limited, however.

Some bus service will be offered on the following lines: #3, #5, #8, #10 #13, #14, #15, #17, #19, #23, #35, #36, #40, #44,#52, #53 #59 and #77. No other lines are operating. 

Subway service has major disruptions and light rail is operating every 20-25 minutes from Hunt Valley to Cromwell and BWI Marshall Airport. There's no Penn Station service.

There's no MARC service today. But the airlines are bringing back planes to BWI airport and getting some flights out. It probably won't be normal until tomorrow.

So, it's far from perfect. And like one reader pointed out, that if you actually rely on public transportation for work, it's going to be a tough haul. Biking isn't really an option, but cross country skiing might work.

And, there's always walking. Have any of you trucked into work on foot?
