Route 54 is a bus route operated by the Maryland Transit Administration in Baltimore and its suburbs.
The route was formerly known as Route 19 prior to 2017.
The line currently runs from the State Center Metro Subway Station to the intersection of Harford Road and Northern Parkway.
From there it splits into two branches.
About one half of buses continue operating along Harford Road to the Carney Park-and-Ride just north of the I-695 interchange, and the other half to the intersection of Goucher Boulevard and Taylor Avenue in Towson via Northern,
McLean Boulevard, Hillsway, and Taylor.
The line serves the communities of Montebello, Hamilton, and Parkville.
The bus route is the successor to the 19 Harford Avenue streetcar line.
A historic No.
19 streetcar at the Baltimore Streetcar Museum Route 19 was electrified as a streetcar along Harford Road in 1894.
The line terminated in the north in Parkville and did not serve Carney.
Service between Parkville and Carney was provided by Bus Route R from 1936 to 1948, and by Bus Route 53 from 1948 to 1956.
The no.
19 line started providing service to Carney when it was converted to a bus in 1956.
In 1952, it was combined with the no.
31 streetcar, and extended to serve the corridor of Garrison Boulevard in West Baltimore.
In 1956, the operation was converted to rubber tire buses.
Over the next few decades, the line was expanded.
The route was extended along Belvedere Avenue to Sinai Hospital and north to the Carney Park-and-Ride, and branches were formed to Northern Parkway and McLean Boulevard, Walther Avenue, Joppa Heights, and the Hickey School.
Also, express trips operated via I-95.
In 1987, Route 19 was split into two lines in order to improve schedule adherence on both sides of town.
The new Route 19 ran from State Center north of downtown...
