Baltimore-area buses break down more than in most other cities, partly because the MTA forgot to buy new ones

State-run buses in Baltimore break down about six times more frequently than buses in St. Louis or Denver. A state-run subway through the city fails five times more often those in Cleveland or D.C. And, Baltimore’s light rail system breaks down three times more than Pittsburgh’s or Salt Lake City’s. Maryland Transit Administration vehicles fail or break down far more often than most other comparable cities, according to the most recent Federal Transit Administration data.
