MARC Serves 2 large cities Washington and Baltimore I feel they should run a limited service on weekends. Also does anyone know about there double decker cars.

When the Fereral Government in DC begins mandating a significant level of weekend staffing of all their offices, then it might be economically viable for MARC to operate weekend service.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

That will never happen.

If the Govt started weekend work for all staff then NO one will have a weekend

As others have pointed out none of the two commuter railroads serving the Washington, DC area don' t regularly run trains on Saturdays because the business isnt there

MARC's double decker cars are used mostly on their Penn Line trains.
