Socioeconomic, community-based approach for developing integrated mass transit systems: Application to City of Baltimore, Maryland
CG Phillips, HR Edwards - Transportation Research Record, 2002 - trid.trb.org
The city of Baltimore, Maryland, is now served by one heavy and one light rail line in
addition to commuter rail service to Washington, DC However, the lines do not share any
