The Boardwalk service will run from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on May 28, May 29, June 3, June 4, June 10 and June 11. On June 17, the Boardwalk service will begin daily through Sept. 5.

The downtown service will run 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from June 14 through Aug. 25 in 2022.

The jitneys will run in a continuous loop from 55th Street to North Street. See a printable map here. Fare costs $2 one way payable in cash, and drivers can provide change. Children aged five and under ride for free.

If heading north, you can ride the jitney by waiting on the north side of any intersection and flagging down the jitney. If heading south, do the same, but on the south side of any intersection.

Download the "Jitney Surfer" app to track the locations of jitneys in real time. In the future, the app will be used to purchase tickets online, but that feature is not available for Ocean City riders yet.

This is a pilot program and ridership data from this summer will be used to refine the service for the future.
