I’m glad you realize that taxpayers will fund a HoCo “free” scooter program. Not every taxpayer (me included) wants to pay the higher taxes though. We’re overtaxed now. As noted above, abandoned scooters have congested trails and are an eyesore so it seems the scooter program wasn’t successful. If people want to use scooters they should buy them with their own money. They’re not expensive.

Depends from where in Columbia and to where in Baltimore. I drive every morning in rush hour from around the Columbja Mall area to downtown Baltimore and it takes me anywhere from 25-35mins depending on traffic. Sometimes I can get there in as little as 20mins if there’s no traffic at all.

I drive to the harbor daily and the only time it’s longer than 30-35 is when there is an accident or a road is shut down in the city. Without much traffic it’s about 15-20. Getting out onto 95 in the afternoon is a pain with the city traffic but if you can avoid peak times it’s not too bad.

A huge difference in commuting time, for both, is if you're not doing regular hours.

Baltimore commute is going to vary heavily based on location, 30 minutes to an hour. For Rockville budget an hour and be aware that there is a minimal toll. You can use Google maps to get an estimate based on time.

Where in bmore? I commute to essentially where TopGolf is and it’s usually 30-35 mins. Just gotta know how to play 95 when you get towards the harbor exits to get past that backup quickly

As others said, it depends on where in Baltimore, and I also feel like what time. If you're going downtown and you leave early enough, it's 20-25 minutes in the morning. Farther than downtown can add significant time, and same as leaving during the morning rush. I go in early and leave early and rarely am in the car more than 30 minutes.
