Route 22 is a bus route operated by the Maryland Transit Administration in Baltimore. The line currently operates between the Mondawmin Metro Subway Station and Bayview Medical Center, serving Television Hill, the Woodberry Light Rail Stop), Hampden, The Rotunda, Homewood, Johns Hopkins University, Waverly, Belair-Edison, and Highlandtown.
Part of the route is the successor to the No. 34 streetcar and bus line.
In 1907, the no. 34 streetcar started operating, known then as the Highlandtown Short Line. It operated until 1950, when it was converted in a bus route.
Route 22 started operating in 1947 as the successor to Bus Route S, which operated along a similar route starting in 1937.
In 1971, selected trips were extended through Southwest Baltimore along a route similar to today's Route 16. This service operated to Brooklyn, serving Rosemont, Lutheran Hospital, and the corridor of Hilton Street, Caton Avenue, and Patapsco Avenue.
In 1975, Route 22 was modified to absorb parts of Routes 34 and 57.
