Exploring Issues in Eldersburg: Public Transportation

Eldersburg is ranked as in the United States with award-winning schools, great neighborhoods and some of the best parks in Maryland.

But no place is perfect. Quality of life issues such as vacated buildings and areas are among frustrations for residents.

Each week Patch will highlight one of these issues in hopes that readers and reporters can work together to find solutions.

Last week we looked at , and people pitched in their comments and ideas in the comments section and on Facebook.

This week we're looking at public transportation in Eldersburg. Do you think this is an issue in the area?

Former Freedom Area Citizen's Council member Ross Dangel brought up the issue. "The lack of public transportation options for Eldersburg's many commuters is I think a major issue for the area," he said.

"I'm talking commuter bus options, which would serve tax-paying Carroll County citizens, who commute out of the county to work every day (but pay taxes here) who might rather save fuel costs and maintenance on their cars, while they sit in the comfort of a new passenger bus with air-conditioning and WI-FI or read the paper or a book on their trip back and forth from work each day." 

Do you think public transportation should be something available to Eldersburg residents, or do you think those living in rural Carroll County understand public transportation options may be limited?
