Maryland Transit Times host Ken Berger met with MDOT MTA MARC Train Chief Transportation Officer David Johnson to talk about MARC's control center. The team at the control center monitors all three MARC Train lines: Camden, Penn, and Brunswick. They make announcements at stations when there are delays, send email service alerts to customers and post regularly on Twitter.  MARC transports over 40k passengers every week, including weekends on the Penn Line.
