Maryland senators push light rail as alternative to subway
A coalition of 20 Maryland senators threaten to filibuster the billion dollar plus subway plan. They advocate a lighter rail system using existing railroad rights of way to serve a larger area at far lower cost, arguing it would save hundreds of millions and avoid delaying other road projects. If the filibuster holds, the budget amendment to delete 120.5 million for the subway could pass, reshaping state transit policy.
