Starting on Sunday, February 28, Ride On Bus Service will increase in areas with high-demand, and some schedules will be changing to improve efficiency. According to the Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT), "The revisions will increase Ride On and Ride On extRa service to nearly 80 percent of pre-pandemic levels."

All Ride On routes are operating, however, they are operating at limited capacity so that riders may social distance from each other. Riders are also required to wear face coverings while riding the bus.

The public comment period for Metro's Fiscal Year 2022 budget is officially open. The deadline for submitting feedback is Tuesday, March 16.

They want to hear from you how service changes would impact your commute and your life, such as:

The closure of up to 22 Metrorail stations with low ridership that are near other stations

Operating Metrorail every 30 minutes on all lines; Red Line trains would operate every 15 minutes between Grosvenor-Strathmore and Silver Spring

Consolidating the Metrobus system into 50 lines that would serve the highest ridership routes, fully or partially covering 64 existing lines
