Seven Ride On Bus Routes to Undergo Schedule Adjustments on May 5

The county’s Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will implement schedule adjustments for seven Ride On bus routes, effective Sunday, May 5.

Here are the specific details for each route:

  • Route 5 (PDF): Trip timings will be adjusted for improved efficiency, applicable on weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
