Ride On historically operated a variety of cutaway buses on its lower volume routes. Prior to the late 2000s, the cutaway buses' operation would be contracted to outside firms, but Ride On eventually took this operation in house. The cutaways tended to have shorter service lives than the standard buses and have all been replaced by 30 foot Gillig Phantom buses.
