Dude, it's called "MARC" and it stands for "Maryland Area Regional Commuter" and before that it was "Maryland Rail Commuter Service."

Well, I've been riding MARC for 4 years, and I've either seen it called "Maryland Rail Commuter," or "Maryland Area Rail Commuter" (which is what I originally thought it was).
