MTA Makes Improvements to Bus Stop at Giant
New shelter and shopping cart corral have been added to the bus station at Rolling Road and Baltimore National Pike.
The bus stop in the back of the Giant and Walmart parking lot that has long been the dumping ground for shopping carts has received some upgrades.
Officials with MTA worked with staff at Giant and Walmart as well as local and county elected officials to make the improvements, MTA spokesman Joe Sviatko said.
The bus stop had one shelter and not a lot of space for people to wait. Many people waiting for the bus would turn shopping carts over and sit on them and leave the carts there.

MTA enlarged the concrete pad at the stop and added another shelter. Walmart also added a shopping cart corral closer to the bus stop.
Sviatko said the additional shelter was added in late June and cost $6,000.
