History
Route 36 started operating in 1973 as Route 55 between Overlea and Towson, with branches via
In 1977, Route 55 was combined with Route 2, which had operated limited service between Overlea and Fox Ridge.
In 1997, all trips were extended to Fox Ridge.[5]
In 1998, two daily trips which operated via Taylor Avenue through Parkville were discontinued.
In 2005, as part of the Greater Baltimore Bus Initiative, it was proposed that Route 55 would operated every 30 minutes versus the previous 40, and Sunday service would be introduced. No routing changes were planned initially to Route 55. But this plan was later delayed due to public outcry over changes to other routes.
In 2006, under a revision, MTA made plans for Route 55 to loop at the Towson Courthouse rather than GBMC, and for service on the remainder of the route to be provided on other lines. This plan was not implemented immediately. But on October 8, 2006, Sunday service was introduced, reflecting this new routing.[6]
On February 17, 2008, these changes were implemented seven days a week,[7] despite public outcry over transfers that would be required to reach Towson University and area hospitals.
On June 18, 2017, BaltimoreLink renamed Route 55 to Route 36.
