Yes and I don't know what line you ride. But the NV yesterday had two cut runs in the AM when I was trying to get to work. There is data on this by line- was posted here recently; and has had a marked upward over the last few years.

Edit- here, found the link to some of the data. If you have never been affected, you are extremely lucky! https://medium.com/@daniellesweeney/the-mta-cut-2-000-bus-runs-in-baltimore-in-the-six-months-85a693371f4b. Granted this is old; I've seen something more recent and it's gotten worse. Will try to find the more recent data.

And here's what I was looking for: https://www.reddit.com/r/baltimore/comments/yv19y2/aries_for_transit_is_tracking_how_well_the_buses/

Dig into their different data sets a bit and you'll understand that you are basically a unicorn if you've never experienced service issues on MTA buses in Baltimore.

This should be edited to say that all trains are cancelled THIS MORNING.

I was supposed to be on a 6:45 AM MARC but they honored tickets on an Amtrak that left around 7:10, stopping at Union Station only a few minutes later than my MARC was supposed to arrive.

Certainly hope they fix this by the evening.
