DART Bus Service

As of September 8, 2024 DART Route 204 that serves the Lewes terminal no longer travels beyond the Lewes Park-n-Ride.  

The route will serve the Lewes terminal, the town of Lewes, and the Lewes Park-n-Ride.   Passengers going to the Tanger Outlets or the cities of Rehoboth Beach and Ocean City, Maryland, will need to transfer to the route 201 or 203, respectively.    Route 201 will take riders to downtown Rehoboth Beach.  Route 203 will take riders to Dewey Beach, Sea Shore State Park, Bethany Beach, Fenwick Island, and the Ocean City, Maryland Convention Center.  
 
DART route 204 does NOT run on Sundays.  Routes 201 and 203 will run on Sundays.   Passengers traveling on Sunday will need to find alternative transportation to the town of Lewes, the outlets, and the city of Rehoboth Beach.  

As a reminder, DART 204 will drop passengers off at the corner of Second Street and Market Street (next to St. Peter’s Episcopal Church).  However, the pickup for the DART 204 is at the corner of Savannah Road and Third Street (in front of the Zwaanendael Museum).  Passengers going to the town of Lewes and coming back to the ferry will need to be aware that the pickup spot is different from the drop off spot.
