Greater Baltimore Bus Initiative
The Greater Baltimore Bus Initiative (GBBI) (pronounced ''GIBBY'') was a sweeping overhaul planned by the Maryland Transit Administration under the administration of then-Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich and his transportation secretary Robert Flanagan (politician), Robert Flanagan that was said to be the largest single-phase overhaul in the history of the agency and its parent companies. According to Ehrlich and Flanagan, the initiative was a series of ''improvements'' to the transit system in the Baltimore area. While some of the proposed changes were obvious improvements, others were heavily opposed by riders, elected officials, and advocates, who considered them ''inconveniences'' and losses of service. As a result, a scaled-back version of the plan dubbed ''Phase I'' was implemented on its originally scheduled date, October 23, 2005, that included about one-third of the original plans and some modifications to those. Of those plans not implemented on this date, some were entir ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
