Ride On, formerly Ride-On, is a local bus transportation system in Montgomery County, Maryland, United States. Managed by the Montgomery County Department of Transportation, Ride On primarily serves Montgomery County, with short segments of service crossing borders into Prince George's County and Washington, D.C. It is a separate entity from WMATA, which also provides bus service in Montgomery County, along with a rail service.

Perspective
1970s–1990s
Ride On began service on March 31, 1975, as Ride-On.[6] Serving Silver Spring and Takoma Park, two routes were in operation: the Blue and the Green. Within a few weeks, it was carrying twice the number of passengers projected: about 2,000 riders per day. The buses were nineteen passenger Grummans. Starting from 1979 to 1981, single front door TMC T-30 City Cruisers (5101-5256) entered service. These were part of a joint order with Frederick City Transit, and shared the same paint livery. In the fall of 1984, as the Washington Metro's Red Line extension to Shady Grove Metro station was complete, Ride On saw its largest route expansion to date. Numerous routes were added to accommodate passengers who would utilize the eight new Metrorail stations along the western portion of Montgomery County. At that time, Ride On began to replace a few WMATA routes that operated in Montgomery County. BIA Orion I 30-foot (9.1 m) buses (5257-5297), the first Ride On buses made by Bus Industries of America and the first buses in the second-generation blue-and-white paint scheme, were introduced that same year to allow for the added service. In 1988 and 1989, 57 of the 30-foot (9.1 m) Gillig Phantom buses (5300-5356), the first Gillig Phantom buses for Ride On and Ride On's last buses without wheelchair lifts (resulting in an all-accessible fleet), went into service. From 1990 to 1992, 46 new Orion I 30-foot (9.1 m) buses (5500-5545), Ride On's last Orion Is, entered service.
In 1993, 2 of Ride On's BIA 40-foot (12 m) Orion V diesel buses (5546–5547), the last Ride On buses made by Bus Industries of America, went into service.
From 1994 to 1997, 50 of the 35-foot (11 m) Gillig Phantom buses (5360-5409) went into service.
In 1995, 4 of the 40-foot (12 m) Flxible Metro D buses (renumbered 5700-5703) went into service.
In 1996, 3 of the 35-foot (11 m) Orion V CNG buses (5997-5999, formerly 5567-5569), the first Ride On buses made by Orion Bus Industries and the first CNG buses for Ride On, and 17 of the 35-foot (11 m) Orion V diesel buses (5550-5566) went into service.
In 1997, Ride On's Orion VI CNG buses (renumbered 5801-5802) went into service.
In 1998, 8 of the 35-foot (11 m) Orion V diesel buses (5572-5579) went into service.
In 1999, 21 of the 40-foot (12 m) Orion V diesel buses (5705-5725) and 14 of the 35-foot (11 m) Gillig Phantom buses (5410-5423) went into service.
2000s
In early March 2000, 19 of the 40-foot (12 m) Orion V CNG buses (5803-5821) went into service.
In 2000, Ride On buses were painted in a special livery to commemorate Ride On's founding's 25th anniversary.[7]
On September 11, 2001, Ride On buses were used to transport Montgomery County firemen to the Pentagon in Virginia to assist in search and rescue operations after the attacks.[8][9][10]
In early 2002, the 2001/2002 35-foot (11 m) Orion V diesel buses (5580–5623), the last Ride On buses made by Orion Bus Industries, went into service. They replaced the 1984 30-foot (9.1 m) Gillig Phantom buses (5257-5297).
In summer 2004, Ride On's first low-floor buses, the 2003/2004 35-foot (11 m) Orion VII CNG buses (5900–5932) went into service. They replaced all of the remaining 1988–1989 30-foot (9.1 m) Gillig Phantom buses (5300–5356).
In late 2005, 15 New Flyer C40LF buses (5822–5836), the first New Flyer buses for Ride On and the last buses in the CNG green/yellow/white paint scheme, went into service.
In 2006, Ride On started accepting SmarTrip cards and in August of that year, all the Ride On buses started getting equipped with fareboxes.
Also in 2006, the 2005 35-foot (11 m) Orion VII CNG buses (5933-5957) went into service. Additionally, Ride On's first five hybrid-electric buses, the 2006 40-foot (12 m) Gillig Low Floor aka Gillig Advantage buses (5300–5304, formerly 5750–5754), the first buses in the second-generation blue/green/white paint scheme, went into service.
In 2007, nine of the 40-foot (12 m) Gillig Advantage Hybrid buses (5305–5313, formerly 5755–5763), the last buses in the second-generation blue/green/white paint scheme, went into service. They replaced the 2001 Ford/StarTrans E450 Cutaway buses (5201-5212). Also in 2007, 62 of the Navistar International and Chevrolet chassis Champion cutaway buses (5182–5231 and 5285–5296), the last high floor buses for Ride On until the 2016 and 2019 Starcraft buses (59-61 and 41000D-41006D), went into service. All of these buses had fire damage and they all were retired five years later, in July 2012.
In June 2008, Ride On's first five 40-foot (12 m) Gillig Low Floor diesel buses (5726-5730) went into service. They replaced Ride On's 40-foot (12 m) Flxible Metro D buses (5700-5703). In late 2008, Ride On's first 30-foot (9.1 m) Gillig Advantage Diesel buses (5001–5006) and the remaining 40-foot (12 m) Gillig Advantage Diesel buses (5731–5746) went into service. These were the last buses in the second-generation blue-and-white paint scheme.
On January 4, 2009, Ride On stopped the issue or acceptance of paper transfers.[11]
Later in 2009, Ride On introduced a new logo and a new blue/yellow/green paint scheme. Also, the 30-foot (9.1 m) Gillig Advantage Diesel buses (5007–5031), the 40-foot (12 m) Gillig Advantage Diesel buses (5747–5757), and the 40-foot (12 m) Gillig Advantage Hybrid buses (5314–5348) went into service. 5314 was originally numbered 5349. These were the only buses to have a big yellow uppercase letter "R" on the back side.
2010s
On May 20, 2011, a Ride On bus crashed into a KFC restaurant in the 12400 block of Georgia Avenue (the Glenmont area) around 7:30 AM, leading to the permanent closure of that facility. Authorities believe the driver passed out while making a left turn onto Georgia Avenue after crossing multiple lanes of traffic and a median and lost control of the bus due to having a heart attack. There were three passengers onboard the bus at the time; the driver and one of the passengers were taken to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries. The only occupant in the building at the time of the crash was not injured, and the building suffered minor damage.[12][13][14]
In late October 2011, 12 of Ride On's 40-foot (12 m) Gillig Low Floor hybrid buses (5349–5360) and one clean diesel bus (5758) went into service. All 13 of these buses were purchased with funds from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act.
In June 2012, 7 of Ride On's 40-foot (12 m) Gillig Low Floor hybrid buses (5361–5367), which were also purchased with stimulus funds from the ARRA, went into service. They replaced the 1998 35-foot (11 m) Orion V diesel buses (5572-5579).
In July 2012, all 62 of the 2007 Champion cutaway buses retired due to fires and got replaced with 15 of the 2003/2004 IC Corporation/Mid buses (renumbered 5232-5246), which were formerly operated by Pittsburgh's Port Authority of Allegheny County, and 30 of the 1999 30-foot (9.1 m) Orion V diesel buses (renumbered 5100–5129), which were formerly operated by Washington's WMATA.
In September 2013, 12 new 40-foot (12 m) Gillig Low Floor clean diesel buses (5759–5770) and 28 new 30-foot (9.1 m) Gillig Low Floor clean diesel buses (5032–5059) went into service. Also, the 2013 30-foot (9.1 m) Gillig Low Floor clean diesel buses replaced all of the 2003/2004 shuttle transit vehicles (STV) that were formerly operated by Pittsburgh's Port Authority of Allegheny County.
In early April 2014, 19 of the brand-new 2014 40-foot (12 m) Gillig Low Floor CNG buses (5837–5855) entered service. These replaced Ride On's first 40-foot (12 m) CNGS (5803–5821). They are Ride On's first new CNG buses in almost a decade (2005 35' Orion VII CNG buses, which went into service in 2006).
In early September 2014, 32 of the new 30-foot (9.1 m) Gillig Low Floor clean diesel buses (5060–5091) went into service, and replaced all of the 1999 30-foot (9.1 m) Orion V diesel buses (5100–5129) that were formerly operated by WMATA.
Ride On celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2015, with three buses (one from each of the three bus divisions) wrapped in the transit agency's 40th anniversary ad.[15]
In May 2016, 40 of the new 40-foot (12 m) Gillig LF clean diesel buses (44000D-44039D), one bus which is 30-foot (9.1 m) Gillig LF clean diesel (42000D) and 16 of the 40-foot (12 m) Gillig LF CNG buses (44040c-44055c) entered service. And with the new buses came the new five-digit numbering system for Ride On, along with the addition of suffixes denoting engines with a "C" for compressed natural gas, a "D" for diesel, an "E" for electric, and an "H" for hybrid.
Ride On extRa, a new limited bus stop service along Maryland Route 355, began on October 2, 2017 with route 101 between Lakeforest Transit Center and Medical Center Metro station.[16] As of September 17, 2018[update], the route serves 13 bus stops. Ride On added 59 Gillig 40-foot (12 m) buses in the summer and fall of 2017; 42 buses replaced some of the oldest vehicles in the fleet. Seventeen buses (44056D-44072D) are specially branded and used exclusively for Ride On's new extRa service that began on October 2, 2017. This limited bus stop service runs along Route 355 between Lakeforest Transit Center and Medical Center Metro station. All 59 of the buses are manufactured by Gillig; 25 run on clean diesel (44056D-44080D) and 34 use compressed natural gas (44081C-44114C).[17] These replaced all of the 2003 Orion VII CNGs and most of the 2004 Orion VII CNG buses. Four additional Gillig LF 40-foot (12 m) CNG buses (44115C-44118C) entered service in the winter of 2018.
Ride On was awarded a $1.75 million grant from the Federal Transit Administration to purchase the county's first four electric buses and charging stations. Ride On was partnering with Proterra, the bus manufacturer, and the Center for Transportation and the Environment, a nonprofit that develops technologies and implements solutions to achieve energy and environmental sustainability. The Montgomery County Department of General Services, which purchases and maintains the Ride On buses, greatly assisted with the grant application. The four Proterra Catalyst 35-foot (11 m) battery electric buses were scheduled to serve Route 18 in Takoma Park starting in 2020. The county has applied for a separate grant to help buy 10 more battery electric buses through FTA's Bus and Bus Facilities Infrastructure Investment Program. The county expects to hear back around the end of the year if its application was approved.[18][19]
MCDOT Ride On received a $4.365 million grant from the FTA to replace diesel buses with 10 new battery electric buses on October 1, 2018.[20]
Ride On added 26 Gillig Low Floor 40-foot (12 m) buses in spring 2019, replacing all the remaining Orion VII's (5933-5957). These buses introduced a brand new paint scheme with a wave pattern and are painted light blue, dark blue, light green, and a touch of white.[21] 23 use compressed natural gas (44119C-44141C) and three run on clean diesel (44142D-44144D).
On April 28, 2019, Ride On announced Ride On Flex, an on-demand bus service that runs in three major metropolitan areas in the county using new, 11-passenger Starcraft Ford cutaway buses (41000D-41006D).[22]
2020s
From March to June 2020, Ride On disabled its automated bus stop announcement system on all its buses in response to COVID-19.
In early September 2020, Ride On's first four fully-electric zero emissions buses (43000E-43003E) entered service.[23] These four buses are manufactured by Proterra, operate out of the Silver Spring garage, served routes 18 & 25 when entering service, and replaced Ride On's first 40-foot (12 m) Gillig Advantage hybrid-electric buses (5300–5304, formerly 5750–5754). Additionally, 19 of the 30-foot (9.1 m) Gillig LF clean diesel buses (42001D-42019D) and 9 of the 40-foot (12 m) Gillig LF clean diesel buses (44145D-44153D) entered service in 2020. The Gilligs replaced the 2005 New Flyer C40LF buses (5822-5836), all of the 2008 and most of the 2009 Gillig LF30 diesel buses, and the 2007 Gillig LF40 hybrid buses (5305-5313, formerly 5755-5763). As all the Gillig buses entered service, they came with the new announcements, the two new text-to-speech voices, and the warnings about what to do when the bus moves and where to cross when exiting.
On October 14, 2020, Ride On launched its brand new Flash BRT service with 16 Nova Bus LFS Articulated buses (46000D-46015D) and two routes designated as "Blue" and "Orange" on US 29.[24] The Orange route operates between Silver Spring and Briggs Chaney Park & Ride every 15 minutes daily while the Blue route operates between Silver Spring and Burtonsville Park & Ride (route is planned to get extended to the mall at Columbia Transit Center[25]) every 15 minutes only during peak hours (from 5:30 AM to 8:30 AM and from 3:30 PM to 7:00 PM) Monday-Friday. Future routes are in development throughout Montgomery County.[25][26][27] This new service replaced Metrobus route Z11 and Ride On route 129.
In February 2021, 20 of the 30-foot (9.1 m) Gillig LF clean diesel buses (42020D-42039D) entered service. These were the last LF30 diesel buses manufactured by Gillig for Ride On. As these buses entered service, they came with the new announcements, the two new text-to-speech voices, and the warnings about what to do when the bus moves and where to cross when exiting.
In early 2022, Ride On updated its automated bus stop announcement system on all its buses except the 2008 Gillig LF40 diesel buses (5726-5746) to have new announcements, use two new text-to-speech voices to read all the new onboard announcements twice, and have warnings about what to do when the bus moves and where to cross when exiting.
In July 2022, Ride On brought back five of its 2009 Gillig LF30 diesel buses (5008, 5011, 5017, 5025, and 5027) from retirement due to the new route 27 service between Tech Road and Hillandale. As these buses re-entered service, they came with the new announcements, the two new text-to-speech voices, and the warnings about what to do when the bus moves and where to cross when exiting just like what the other Ride On buses had, starting from the same year.
In February/March 2023, Ride On's first 40-foot (12 m) Gillig Low Floor Plus battery electric buses (44154E-44163E) entered service.
In July/August 2023, Ride On brought back three of its 2008 Gillig LF40 diesel buses (5737, 5744, and 5746) from retirement and wrapped them in the FLASH scheme to operate on the FLASH routes due to low ridership on the articulated buses. As these buses re-entered service, they came with the new announcements, the two new text-to-speech voices, and the warnings about what to do when the bus moves and where to cross when exiting just like what the other Ride On buses had, starting from 2022.
On December 27, 2023, a Ride On bus crashed into the side of a house in Silver Spring around 7:30 PM. The incident occurred on Fairland Road, a few blocks east (the 3000 block) of Columbia Pike. The driver reportedly lost control of the bus while entering a roundabout circle at the intersection with Galway Drive and hit a parked car before colliding into the side of the house. There were no passengers onboard the bus, and the house was occupied at the time. The exact cause is still unknown, but there were no reported injuries, and no charges were filed against the bus driver.[28][29] The broken side framed the bus as it sat on the lawn. It was later discovered that the same bus had previously been involved in a crash on May 20, 2011.[30] The bus was removed from service following the incident.
In April 2024, MCDOT published their Zero Emissions Bus Transition climate action plan, to replace all the buses in the Ride On fleet with zero emissions buses by 2035.[31]
In June 2024, MCDOT won three National Association of Counties (NACo) awards for transportation, community development, and personal management for programs including the University Boulevard dedicated bus lane project, the Friday Campaign for the Flash BRT service, and the Sweep the Salt Pilot Program. MCDOT also received a grant award and has been recognized for many months for its Brookville Smart Energy Solar Charging Depot and its Ride On Bus Service, though this occurred from October to December 2024.
In June/July 2024, Ride On brought back 13 of its 2008 Gillig LF40 diesel buses (5726, 5728, 5730, 5732-5736, 5738/5739, 5742/5743, and 5745) from retirement due to the two new Ride On extRa routes designated as Lime and Pink that are part of the Great Seneca Transit BRT Network and operate daily between the Shady Grove Metro station and Traville Transit Center.[32] As these buses re-entered service, they came with the new announcements, the two new text-to-speech voices, and the warnings about what to do when the bus moves and where to cross when exiting just like what the other Ride On buses had, starting from 2022.
In August 2024, Ride On wrapped 11 of its 2019 Gillig LF40 CNG buses (44129C-44139C) in the Ride On extRa scheme and featured them with digital interior signage for the two new Ride On extRa routes designated as Lime and Pink that are part of the Great Seneca Transit BRT Network and operate daily between the Shady Grove Metro station and Traville Transit Center.[32]
On September 8, 2024, the first phase of the Ride On extRa Great Seneca Transit BRT Network entered service with two new routes (Pink and Lime). These limited bus stop routes operate daily between the Traville Transit Center and Shady Grove Metro station.[32]
From January to April 2025, 13 of the 2008 Gillig LF40 diesel buses (5726, 5728, 5730, 5732-5736, 5738/5739, 5742/5743, and 5745) were in the ready reserve fleet to help the Flash BRT service and in case of shortages.
In February 2025, the Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) received the County Engineers Association of Maryland (CEAM) Project of the Year Award for the Auth Lane Pedestrian Bridge project, though specific news of this award were released in late August 2025.
In March 2025, Montgomery County Executive, Marc B. Elrich, announced a budget proposal to have 112 battery electric buses in service by July 2026, and to eliminate all the fares on Ride On, Ride On extRa, Flex, and Flash buses.[33]
In March/April 2025, 12 of the 40-foot (12 m) Gillig Low Floor Plus battery electric buses (44164E-44175E) entered service. These buses feature changeable interior lights, video monitors, larger rear doors, a new vinyl seat material, and USB-A and USB-C charging ports.[34]
From May to September 2025, multiple 40-foot (12 m) Gillig Low Floor Plus battery electric buses (44176E-44228E?) entered service. They replaced most of Ride On's 2009 40-foot (12 m) Gillig Low Floor hybrid-electric buses.
On June 29, 2025, Ride On launched its first phase of Ride On Reimagined, a master plan for the future of the Ride On bus service. This first phase was primarily intended to complement changes to the entire redesign of WMATA's Better Bus Network, which took effect on the same day. Route 10 was discontinued to consolidate all transit service along Randolph Road to WMATA. A new route, 40, was introduced to provide service along Veirs Mill Road between Wheaton Metro station and Montgomery College's Rockville campus and between Wheaton and Rockville Metro stations under route 40A, replacing a discontinued Metrobus service along the corridor. There were trip time adjustments for routes 29, 41, and 43, the destinations for routes 34, 41, and 42 were adjusted as well, and routes L8 and T2 were discontinued to complement Metrobus service changes. Additionally, Ride On eliminated all the fares on its services,[35] and updated its automated bus stop announcement system on all its buses except the Ride On extRa and Flash buses to read bus stop names in English and Spanish.
On July 30, 2025, Montgomery County awarded a contract to New Flyer Industries for 60-foot (18 m) Low Floor Transit Buses.
In August 2025, the Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) awarded a lease agreement with Francis Energy to install and operate DC fast-charge EV stations at two county-owned sites in Silver Spring, specifically at Public Parking Lot 12 and the Colesville Commuter Lot. According to a press release from the county which was on August 15, 2025, MCDOT also received a national recognition for its ePaper Digital Bus Stop® displays, winning an achievement award from the National Association of Counties (NACo).
In September 2025, Ride On updated its automated bus stop announcement system on all its buses to stop reading the Spanish version of the bus stop names, but continue displaying them on the interior screen.
Ride On celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2025, with three buses (one from each of the three bus divisions) wrapped in the transit agency’s 50th anniversary ad.[36]

Perspective
Along with standard bus service, Ride On operates three additional services, Ride On extRa, Ride On Flex, and Flash BRT.
Ride On extRa

Ride On extRa is a bus service that started on October 2, 2017 with route 101, a limited bus stop service via Maryland Route 355 between Medical Center Metro station on WMATA metro's red line and the Lakeforest Mall Transit Center[16] using BRT Plus diesel buses equipped with a free Wi-Fi hotspot, USB-A charging ports, digital interior signage, and more padding in the seats compared to traditional Ride On services. The fare charged is the same as in other Ride On buses, although fare loading in these buses is not permitted. As of September 17, 2018[update], the Ride On extRa route 101 serves a new bus stop at Templeton Place in Rockville, MD, increasing the number of bus stops to 13. Two new bus routes, "Lime" and "Pink," which are part of the Great Seneca Transit BRT Network, entered service on September 8, 2024.[37] The buses used on the Ride On extRa routes are the 2017 Gillig LF40 BRT Plus diesel buses (44056D-44072D), some of the 2019 Gillig LF40 CNG buses (44129C-44139C), and a 2024 Gillig LF40 Plus Battery Electric bus (44165E). Ride On extRa will be introducing 2025 Gillig LF40 Plus Battery Electric buses as 44228E is wrapped in the Ride On extRa scheme.
Ride On Flex

Ride On Flex is an on-demand bus service that began serving Montgomery County on June 26, 2019, and runs in and around Rockville, Glenmont, and Wheaton using new, 11-passenger cutaway buses.[22][38] Passengers are able to request a bus using an app. The new service never charged a higher fare, and accepted the same payment methods as standard Ride On buses with no onboard fare loading allowed.[39] The buses used for this service are the 2019 Ford cutaway (Starlite Transit) buses manufactured by Starcraft (41000D-41006D).
Flash BRT

Flash is a bus rapid transit network that began service on October 14, 2020.[24][40][41] The first route operates between Silver Spring Metro station and Burtonsville Park and Ride along U.S. Route 29[26] (route is planned to get extended to the mall at Columbia Transit Center[25]). The second route operates between Silver Spring Metro station and Briggs Chaney Park and Ride along U.S. Route 29. Future routes are in development throughout Montgomery County.[25][26][27]
Flash has dedicated bus stops with prepayment machines and operates in a mix of traffic and dedicated lanes using articulated buses equipped with level boarding, onboard bike racks, an automatic wheelchair securement system, a pedestrian sensor, a free Wi-Fi hotspot, and USB-A charging ports.[42] The articulated buses are the second non-WMATA-operated buses in the Washington area after DASH.[43] The buses used for this service are the 2019 Nova Bus LFS Articulated buses (46000D-46015D) and several 2008 Gillig LF40 diesel buses (5737, 5744, and 5746). Flash BRT is planning to use hydrogen cell buses.[citation needed]

Fares
Summarize
Perspective
On August 1, 2022, Ride On started a one-way fare that was $1.00 regardless of payment method. Children, senior citizens, and people with disabilities were allowed to ride for free. Fares were suspended from March 2020 to July 2022 in response to COVID-19. Prior to that, Ride On's one-way fare was $2.00 regardless of payment method. Senior citizens and people with disabilities were able to ride free on weekdays between 9:30 AM and 3:00 PM and on Saturdays between 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM; at all other times, a reduced fare of $1.00 was charged. As of July 1, 2019[update], children ages 5 and up can enter Ride On, as well as Metrobuses originating in Montgomery County, for free until they graduate from high school by using a Youth Cruiser SmarTrip card.[44] Ride On used to offer a 50¢ discount for bus fares that transfered from the Washington Metro.
As with all the other transit providers in the Washington Metropolitan Area, as of January 4, 2009[update], Ride On stopped the issue or acceptance of paper transfers.[11] The riders who wanted transfer credit were supposed to use a SmarTrip card to get the rail-to-bus or bus-to-rail discount or to transfer free from bus to bus.
The Montgomery County Council elected to make all the buses free, eliminating all the fares starting on June 29, 2025.[45]

Former routes
Summarize
Perspective
These routes have been served by Ride On at one point, but have since been discontinued due to either low ridership, duplication of another route, simplification to other routes, or combined into another route. However, some routes would be reincarnated into new routes for Ride On.
Metrobus routes
Additionally, Ride On ran three weekend-routes that were served by WMATA Metrobus on weekdays. All routes were discontinued due to WMATA's Better Bus Redesign network, unless noted.[87]
