The term "epic fail" was made popular by a site called the "Fail  Blog," it shows pictures and words that were big mistakes and are given  the term "fail" sometimes if something is a huge failure, the term "epic  fail" is used.  
I recently went out with fellow bloggers to take pictures of MARC  Stations in Howard County, all of which are on the Camden Line or the  Orange Line if localized. My Colleagues asked me what written post or  posts I have in mind to go with these pictures. I did not have an answer  at the time which is not unusual when I take pictures and eventually  the written word comes later.Obviously if I meet up with seasoned Professional Planners  and current Bloggers; Peter Tocco and Gerald Neilly, Mass Transit WILL  be discussed at great lengths. When I had some brain storming time to  myself (much later) I came to the conclusion that when it comes to  planning and building (or not building) Transit Lines, and the TOD that  should accompany it, the Baltimore Region has failed in multiple  categories. With so many failures, I hereby dub transit in Baltimore an  "Epic Fail"
  
So what's the  post? This isn't it what I have come up with will be a serious of posts  that will closely examine "Fails" that both have been built and are  proposed. Stay tuned for multiple "Fails" I'm sure you won't be  surprised.
