* - 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 30 Weekend Service was discontinued in 1989, preceeding the route's ultimate abandonment.

Note 2:Route #33 Rail 's trunk was converted to Bus #5. However, the branch (that gave this route the distinction from its sister route #5) was absorbed by Rail route #32, and was operated as a branch of that line until that line was converted to Buses.

Note 3: Route #"37" was unique in Baltimore in that it was a route number that was given to a sole destination: Cherry Hill. Regardless of the origin point on the North end, Southbound coaches to Cherry Hill operated with #"37" markings. After arrival in Cherry Hill, the markings were reset to #"28" for the Northbound trip. Despite the confusion, this practice persisted for nearly 30 years. "Last Day" Date is the last day that this practice was an official company policy.

Note 4:Use of Route "46" on maps and achedules was only done in later years, also listed as "Union Avenue JW" in unmarked routes section.

Note 5:Route #46 existed as a seperate route through 8/09/52, after which special #25 (later #10) coaches were marked as #46 for 3 trips to the mills. This practice continued for many years until an eventual extension of some #22 line coaches over Union Avenue.

Note 6:Use of "47" on maps and schedules was only done in later years; also listed as Key Avenue JW in unmarked routes section.

Note 7:Route #46 served Robert Poole, Falstaff and Pimlico Middle Schools, and Northwestern High School. Route #47 served Benjamin Franklin and Lombard Middle Schools, and Southern High School. Route #48 served Hamilton Middle School and Northern High School. Route #49 served Thurgood Marshall and Southeastern Middle Schools, Schools #170 and #171, and Patterson High School.

Note 8: Weekend service on Route #35 was discontinued as of 2/02/92, and was picked up by private contractor Eatman Bus Lines; later dropped. On 1-30-2000, Weekend Service resumed on Route #35 as a result of its combination with Route #62.
