I assume those people exist. Is it just operationally impossible to run on only the eastern half of each of the two DC-Baltimore lines (no place to change ends or something?).They'll have to drive to MTA Maryland Light Rail stations, most likely Cromwell... or just drive all the way into Baltimore. The WMATA B30 isn't running, and there's not much bus service to Seabrook, Bowie State, and Odenton.
Let's add some more context here. When I went into the office during this pandemic, Odenton to Baltimore, the train was... practically empty. Maybe 10 people outside the conductors? 20? And you basically had to drive to the outlying stations.
So yes, there's alternatives. They're not good.
