Dew Tour Invades OC

Word is that the hot sunny weather coupled with the Dew Tour will have Ocean City breaking all attendance records this weekend.  How are we supposed to get around with 450,000 others?  One way is to ride the bus.

Ocean City, MD – The Town of Ocean City encourages those attending the Dew Tour July 21-24 to take municipal buses to the event, which will be held on the beach north of the pier and steps from the Ocean City Boardwalk.
Coastal Highway bus service is $3 ride all day or $1 per boarding. The normal summer bus schedule will be in effect throughout the event. Buses run approximately every 10 minutes from 6 a.m. to 3 a.m. and every 20 minutes from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m.
An express shuttle service will also be available Thursday through Sunday from the Ocean City Convention Center south parking lot at 40th Street. Service will operate 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.
Additionally, a downtown bus service loop also will be in place during the event to serve those coming from 28th Street south to the South Transit Station on South Division Street. Required bus fare for Coastal Highway buses, express shuttles and the downtown loop is $3 ride all day or $1 per boarding. Exact fare is required.
