Press Releases - Department of Transportation

For Immediate Release: Friday, August 8, 2025

The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will slightly adjust the Ride On Bus Route 41 service schedule on Sunday, Sept. 7, to improve on-time performance. The bus route connects Aspen Hill, Glenmont and Wheaton with stops in between. The new schedule is available at rideonbus.com and will be available in print the week of Aug. 11. This service change comes just over two months after the June 29 large-scale service changes to numerous routes. This smaller change is necessary to improve service reliability on Route 41.  

For more information on Ride On routes and services, visit RideOnBus.com or download the free Ride On Trip Planner app.  

The County has also implemented a zero-fare policy, that went into effect on Sunday, June 29 for all Ride On, Ride On extRa, Ride On Flex and Flash buses. The zero-fare policy reduces barriers to public transportation access for many residents.
