Montgomery County's Ride On transit system implemented a Zero-Fare policy on June 29, 2025, removing passenger fares on all services including Ride On, Ride On extRa, Ride On Flex, and Flash. The policy also eliminated fare collection equipment from buses, reducing boarding times and fare-related conflicts. Separately, eligible students, seniors, and persons with disabilities riding Metrobuses within the county at zero fare must now use designated SmarTrip cards and tap the farebox when boarding.
