Ride On Introduces Youth Cruiser SmarTrip

Bus passengers under 18 may purchase a monthly pass for $11.

Kids these days, they're always going. In honor of that mobile spirit, Ride On introduced a Youth Cruiser SmarTrip card for riders under 18. The unlimited pass is $11 a month, but it only works on Ride On, not MetroBus. 

To get one for the kids and teens in your life, be prepared to show proof of age and county residence when applying in person at the TRIPS commuter stores in Silver Spring or Friendship Heights (17 Wisconsin Circle, Chevy Chase). You also may purchase the special card from the Montgomery County Division of Treasury at 255 Rockville Pike, L-15 in Rockville, from 8 a.m .to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday. (The Division of Treasury's number is 240-777-8930.)

Kids who have money on other passes may add the stored value onto this new card in person or online at SmarTrip.com.

Head to the Montgomery County transit website for more information about Ride On and the Youth Cruiser SmarTrip.
