The Ride-On Bus is a FREE service for students. To ride the Ride-On Bus, students must obtain a Youth Cruiser SmarTrip Card. Students may obtain SmarTrip Cards at Good Counsel's school store, The Falcon's Nest, or online here.

Montgomery County Ride-On Bus offers stops on the Good Counsel campus at the traffic circle at the main entrance adjacent to the Maryland flagpole. By partnering with Montgomery County Government to pilot this program, we are able to offer families a no-hassle option that saves both time and expense.
