Talk:List of MTA Maryland bus routes

Local bus routes table

The columns for "places served" and "transfers" contain lists that are awkwardly long for a table. They're also redundant, because the same information is listed in a separate article for each bus line. Are these columns really needed here? Should they be deleted?

Should Neighborhood Shuttle Bug routes and QuickBus routes be in same or separate table?

The neighborhood shuttle bugs are local routes that just have special branding. There are two of them. Ditto for the QuickBus routes, except that they make limited stops. I personally think it is better to have them in numerical order. What do others think? Sebwite (talk) 20:58, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Well that's how they are categorized on the MTA website, and they are advertised that way. So I think it's best if they stay that way on here.--ETLamborghini (talk) 01:20, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Source for division operation

This list includes information on the division or "garage" in which each route operates out of. I have one major question: what is the source of that information? It is not listed on the printed schedules, anywhere I have found on the MTA's website, or anywhere else readily accessible to the public. At this point, the only people I can see knowing this are those who either work for MTA, know someone who works for MTA, or who otherwised have guessed. None of these sources meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria. Sebwite (talk) 19:45, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Stale information about MTA commuter routes?

From what I can determine in this list of commuter bus routes, the information is definitely stale...I mean, really stale. For example, the list includes Routes 901, 906, and 907 as commuter routes for MD-210, with certain ones mentioned as operated by Dillion's Bus Service. Do all of these lines still exist? Martz Gold Line runs MTA Route 650 (DC-Accokeek-Waldorf (White Plains)-La Plata), while Keller Transportation runs MTA Route 640 (DC-Accokeek-Waldorf). Both routes travel to and from Washington, DC via the Indian Head Highway (MD-210) corridor to serve southern Prince George's County, MD and Charles County, MD. I don't see either of these routes on the list. The schedules for both of these routes were last updated in 2015. So, this list appears to be several years old as of the date of this writing. →Lwalt ^♦ talk 18:55, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Move pre-2017 routes?

Since the 2017 "Link" overhaul completely changed many bus routes, this article has essentially had two lists in it. It makes for a very long article, one that is difficult to read and potentially confusing for readers unfamiliar with the city and system. Is it, at this point, more logical to move the pre-2017 route charts to a new article, possibly adding the chart currently at History of MTA Maryland#Former bus routes? A List of former MTA Maryland bus routes article would allow this article to be more focused and navigable, while still retaining the former routes on Wikipedia if so desired. It just seems to me to be a topic of pretty limited interest, and unlikely to need to take up this much of the current article. oknazevad (talk) 14:52, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
