* - Denotes final Complete Day of Service, although vehicles operated into the early morning hours of the following day, due to Late Night or All-Night Service.

Note 1: Route #6 was dissolved into four routes upon its discontinuance in 1977. Route #61 was formed from the Roland Park Branch, Route #62 was formed from the Monument Street Branch, Route #63 was formed from the Riviera Beach Branch, Route #64 was formed from the Brooklyn-Curtis Bay Branch.

Note 2: Route #9 was discontinued in stages: Last Weekday service was on 1/26/73, Saturday service on 6/16/73, No Sunday service.

Note 3: Route has had gradual changes to it during its life. Saturday and Sunday Service were added on 6/16/86, while the peak service to and from Downtown was eliminated (except for early trips) in June of 1992, upon advent of Light Rail Service. Later, after the extension of Light Rail Service directly to Hunt Valley in November, 1997, the early morning trips from Downtown were dropped as well.
