The wait is nearly over! Coastal Cruiser, the eagerly anticipated rideshare service by Circuit, is launching in Boynton Beach on Saturday, March 23, 2024. This innovative and environmentally friendly on-demand transportation solution will offer residents and visitors confidence and accessibility within designated areas of eastern Boynton Beach.
The Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency and City of Boynton Beach are partnering on the pilot program that will feature two distinct zones to cater to the varying needs of the community. The zones were strategically chosen to cover key areas and popular destinations along East Ocean Avenue, Seacrest Boulevard, Federal Highway, and the surrounding areas. Zone 1 will encompass a portion of the CRA area, providing seamless transportation within the district to points of interests, like the City Hall & Library municipal building, Boynton Harbor Marina, and a variety of businesses and restaurants. Zone 2 will be designated to transport passengers to Oceanfront Park, offering easy access to one of the city’s most popular beaches and alleviating the need to search and pay for parking.
The service will be available Sunday through Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. All rides are available on-demand, and need to be booked via the Ride Circuit app. The Coastal Cruiser fleet will feature all EV vehicles – two Kia Niro sedans and two GEMs, including one ADA accessible vehicle.
The ride-share service is designed to meet the needs of our community, offering competitive pricing that makes getting around eastern Boynton Beach easier than ever before. The affordable fares start at just $1 per rider for Zone 1, with rides in Zone 2 being $2 for the first rider and $1 for each additional rider. Additionally, to celebrate the launch, community members are encouraged to download the Circuit app to receive their first two rides for free during the first 30 days.
To commemorate this momentous occasion, a ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place on March 23rd, at 6:00 PM at the Centennial Park & Amphitheater, located at 120 East Ocean Avenue. The ceremony will coincide with the Boynton Beach Spring Market, providing attendees with the opportunity to witness the unveiling of the new Coastal Cruiser firsthand.
Representatives from Circuit will be onsite during the market to share information about the Coastal Cruiser and assist attendees with downloading the Ride Circuit app. Don't miss this exciting opportunity to be among the first to experience the future of transportation in Boynton Beach!
