Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will adjust Ride On bus schedules to 64 routes starting Sunday, Oct. 10, to increase overall service and improve efficiency. The changes reflect the continuing shift of resources toward schedule patterns prior to the COVID-19 health crisis.
Additionally, extra trips will be added to 25 higher ridership routes and service after midnight will be reinstated for all routes which operated those hours prior to the COVID-19 health crisis.
Ridership data and on-time performance are monitored regularly to identify routes that could achieve more efficiency with schedule updates. The information led to the routes that will have schedule changes starting Oct. 10.
Routes that will have schedule changes and some improved frequencies include:
Flash Blue Schedule, Flash Orange Weekday Schedule, Flash Weekend/Holiday Schedule, 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 23, 25, 26, 29, 30, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39, 41, 42, 43, 45, 46, 47, 48,
