All school age children may ride free on Ride On and Metrobus service between 2:00PM and 7:00PM Monday to Friday.
Students must present a photo ID issued by the Montgomery County Public School System or a special bus pass/ID. These special passes/ID's display the Ride On logo, are signed by the school principal and are available through the schools that do not have photo ID's. See sample pass. Private school students are also eligible. Private school principals may obtain passes by calling 240-777-7433.
Middle or High School students must show a school picture ID
Elementary age students need NOT show ID. If a student does not have a picture ID, contact the school administration for more information.
Students must board at bus stop within Montgomery County. On routes that serve more than one jurisdiction, the operator must collect regular fares from passengers who board at all stops outside Montgomery County. (Note: Students boarding in Montgomery County may ride to a destination in another jurisdiction if they wish, but returning to Montgomery County from a bus stop in another jurisdiction requires payment of the regular applicable fare.)
