usatoday.com

Maryland's Purple Line light-rail transit project is 89% complete and aims for a winter 2027 launch. Light rail operates on the surface, often alongside traffic, unlike the Metro's separated heavy-rail system. The Purple Line will connect DC's Maryland suburbs. The electric system will run trains every 7.5 to 12 minutes, expecting 60,000 daily riders. Baltimore also has a light rail system.
