MTA offers limited bus service; light rail delayed
The Maryland Transit Administration says it is providing only limited local bus service this morning because many streets remain impassable. Meanwhile the light rail system is experiencing 30-minute delays in trains from the southern ends of the system at BWI Airport and Cromwell Station.
Here's the word on the buses:

MTA updated list of routes, as of 11:11 AM: 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8,10,11,13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 27, 29, 33, 35, 36, 40, 44, 48, 51, 52,53, 54, 56, 57, 77, 91, 120, 150
I doubt the validity of this list, though. I saw a 61 Inner Harbor on St. Paul Street as I was walking to work from the Light Rail. Any reason why major routes, such as the 22, 30, and 64 aren't running?

The first southbound light rail train this morning (5:02 AM at Lutherville) was 10 minutes late arriving this morning, and then took 60 minutes to make the trip to Pratt Street (normally about a 35-minute trip). The catenary was iced in Baltimore County and most of the way to North Avenue. Shouldn't the MTA run test trains in the pre-schedule hours to keep the catenary clear when frost is predicted?
