Trolleys, Bethany Beach, Transportation, Best Deal in Bethany Beach, Beats the Meters!!
Thank God I did not have to experience it. Mayhem in Bethany Beach because residents and visitors could not find the parking meters. Several people got tickets left and right. Finally, after enough complaints signs were put up informing the public where to go and what to do.
Meters are so expensive at the Delaware Beaches. In Bethany Beach all meters are $1.50 per hour in quarter increments. A quarter gives you 10 minutes.
Garfield Parkway, which is the Main Drag, as some of us call it, and the business area, have blue meters. Please note that these meters have a 2-hour limit on the meter. But, the meters can be replenished.
The rest of the meters are grey. These ones have an 8-hour limit.
Having said all that, why don’t you just take the Bethany Beach Trolley. It is so cheap. $.25 each way is what you’ll pay and someone else is driving you. The Town of Bethany Beach has 2 trolleys.
The trolleys run from 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The last pick up on Atlantic and Garfield is at 9:45 p.m.
You can flag down the trolleys anywhere along the route for pick or discharge. The only exception is that they will not do any loading or unloading on Rt. 26 and Rt. 1. The same goes for Jefferson Bridge Rd. These are busy roads and I can see why.
On a daily basis there will be little or no service from 12:30 p.m. until 1:00 p.m. and from 7:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. These drivers need lunch and dinner breaks.
To check the Trolley Schedule all you have to do is visit www.townofbethanybeach.com and then under services scroll down to Trolley. If you need more info., please call 302-539-8011.
If you are near any of those routes or within walking distance, my suggestion is use the Trolleys. You won’t regret it.
Please remember that you are at the beach….kick back and relax…

To Bob Vargovcik, Trolley Bus Driver:
My wife Judith and I rode on your bus (on or about June 11, 2013). We were the only passengers except for one gentleman who rode a few blocks to a restaurant.
You told me about your book so, I ordered it from Amazon and read it. I feel like I know you very well now. I enjoyed the book since I grew up in the Bronx and could identify with the early years. We will look you up the next time we are in Bethany Beach, and we can talk some more.
