History

Route 35 starting operating with that designation on May 1, 1970 between Oliver Beach and downtown Baltimore, serving the Philadelphia Road/Pulaski Highway corridor. In 1971, the Oliver Beach section was extended to serve Bowleys Quarters.

Prior to this date, various other buses and streetcar routes served both sides of the present route. The no. 35 designation was also used for several other routes in the past. The most notable was a streetcar line that operated from Lorraine to downtown between 1920 and 1929 along a route similar to the present Route 15, which from 1929 to 1954 ran only from Lorraine to Walbrook. In 1954, this line was converted to a bus, and it 1966, it was merged into Route 15.. Btco.net (1966-01-30). Retrieved on...
