Friday, June 5th, 2015, the Sea Jitney invites you to an official ribbon cutting ceremony at 11:30am at the Port Jefferson-Bridgeport Ferry terminal in the Village of Port Jefferson on Long Island
(Long Island, NY) In partnership with Seastreak, the Bridgeport–Port Jefferson Ferry and Hampton Jitney, a new intermodal service for the Tri-State area offers a convenient alternative for transportation linking New York City, New Jersey, and Connecticut with Long Island.
Beginning May 22nd, 2015, the seasonal weekend service called Sea Jitney began carrying passengers to and from these locations with the Port Jefferson dock as the hub. From Port Jefferson, travelers now have the ability to go East to the Hamptons via Hampton Jitney bus service, West via the high-speed Seastreak ferry, and north across the Long Island Sound by way of the Bridgeport-Port Jefferson Ferry.
With departures from Manhattan at East 35th St., and from Highlands, NJ, travelers enjoy a relaxing ferry ride to Port Jefferson where they can explore the scenic harbor-front village or continue on toward Eastern Long Island to Calverton, Southampton, Sag Harbor or East Hampton.
One-way fares range from $33 to $50 depending on origin and destination; reservations and advance payment are required. The service is geared towards weekend travel with three departures from NYC and multiple departures from Bridgeport, CT on Friday, and three returning departures from the East End on Sunday. One departure from NYC and Bridgeport is scheduled for Saturday.
The ferry trip takes approximately two hours from the city to Port Jefferson Village and an hour from Port Jefferson to the Hamptons. For a complete schedule, go to www.seajitney.com.
