Ride On continues holiday schedule due to bus shortage

Published July 20, 2012 4:00am ET



Montgomery County Ride On buses will continue running a modified holiday schedule at the beginning of next week after a bus fire prompted the county to take about 30 buses out of service on Wednesday.

The transit system has been running a modified version of its Veterans Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day schedule on Thursday and Friday because it doesn’t have enough buses for all its routes after pulling all of its fire-prone Champion-model buses. The holiday schedule will continue to be used on Monday and Tuesday, the county said Friday.
