Montgomery County students can ride for free more often on county Ride On buses beginning July 1.

Effective July 1, kindergarten through 12^th-grade students who live in the county can ride any Ride On bus free by showing their school ID or Youth Cruiser SmarTrip card to the bus operator. Children under 5 must be accompanied by an adult.

Youth Cruiser SmarTrip cards can be purchased for $2 at any county library, the Silver Spring TRiPS store, the mobile commuter store, select schools and the county treasury office, with the child’s proper identification.
