Montgomery County, Maryland, is bolstering its Ride On bus service starting Sunday.
The schedules of all Ride On routes 鈥� with the sole exception of 301 鈥� are being adjusted. It will result in service being restored to 90% of pre-pandemic levels.
One of the notable improvements concerns Route 4: it will be extended 鈥� from Connecticut and Howard avenues in Kensington to the Wheaton Metro Station.
鈥淭hese service improvements are a step in the right direction,鈥� said the director of the county鈥檚 Department of Transportation, Chris Conklin, in a statement. 鈥淭hey provide access and opportunity to residents who need it.鈥�
The new schedules can be found on .
Ride On service remains free through at least July 2, and while masks are no longer required, they are still being encouraged.
The county also reminds riders that bus interiors 鈥� as well as their filter and ventilation systems 鈥� are being treated with disinfectant.
