In 1907, the no. 34 streetcar started operating, known then as the Highlandtown Short Line. It operated until 1950 when it was converted into a bus route.[2]
Route 22 started operating in 1947 as the successor to Bus Route S, which operated along a similar route starting in 1937.[3]
In 1975, Route 22 was modified to absorb parts of Routes 34 and 57.[2]
In January 2001, the service between Mondawmin and Brooklyn was split into a separate line identified as Route 16 in order to simplify and improve the reliability of service.[4] The frequency of Route 16 would be increased later during the decade.
In 2006, as part of the Greater Baltimore Bus Initiative, the frequency of service on Route 22 was nearly doubled at most times to provide improved crosstown service,[5] though the route of the line was not changed.
BaltimoreLinkedit
On June 18, 2017, Route 22 became LocalLink 22 and runs along the same route.
In popular cultureedit
In the novel The Reappearance of Sam Webber By Jonathon Scott Fuqua, the narrator describes throughout the book catching the bus (not identified in the book as no. 22) to various points along Route 22.[6]
Part of the route of Route 22 is described in Journeys to the heart of Baltimore By Michael Olesker, in reference to where various ethnic groups board and depart, though the number 22 is not mentioned.[7]
