Baltimore, MD - Nov. 11, 2023 - Due to the large number of people heading from Baltimore to DC for Tuesday's March for Israel, there is a shortage of available bus seats. Contact was made with MTA (Maryland Transit Authority) in regards to the possibility of expanding MARC train availability on Tuesday. 

The below information was assembled by The Associated:   

Getting There by MARC Train

• We have been in touch with the Maryland Transit Authority (MTA) to advise them of higher-than-normal traffic around the March times. They advised that there is a significant capacity on the MARC trains, but that they can add additional cars if necessary. They ask that everyone limit the size of signs they bring on the train to preserve space. Additionally, they ask for patience in accommodating the crowds and packed trains.
• Please fill out this brief survey to let us know if you plan on taking the MARC train – this will be used to advise MTA of the expected usage so they can be prepared to add additional cars on their trains.
• You are urged to download the CharmPass Mobile App to purchase tickets, or visit any MARC station prior to the event to purchase tickets to avoid lines at the ticket machines.
