Enhancements to Affect 25
Routes – One of the Largest Upgrades in the Last 10 Years
Beginning Sunday, January 11, the
Montgomery County Ride On bus system will introduce improvements to 25 routes
that will upgrade service for thousands of riders a day. This is one of the
largest enhancements in Ride On service in the last 10 years. The Montgomery
County Council, in their deliberations last May, approved funding for the
improvements to further expand Ride On service.
“Providing enhanced transit service is
one my key strategies for fostering economic development in Montgomery County,”
said Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett. “That is why this improved
service for our Ride On customers is so important. I want to thank the
Department of Transportation for their efforts in moving this vision forward
and making transit use even more easy and convenient.”
Depending on the route, the service
change will add trips on 19 routes; increase span of service (the hours the bus
operates) on 18 routes; and improve accuracy of schedule times (travel time) on
14 routes. Fifteen routes will have more than one of these improvements. Read more.
