This page lists all buses purchased and operated by the Maryland Mass Transit Administration (MTA) and its predecessor operator, the Baltimore Transit Company, between 1960 and 1982. This part of the roster covers the Fishbowl/New Look era of the 1960's and 1970's, the arrival of the much despised GM RTS II coaches, and the start of the Grumman 870/Flxible Metro era.

If anyone knows and additional background of the MTA buses, please send me an email.

Thanks in advance for any help, and enjoy!
