Is there a bus service that go through Ocean City? I need to get from OCMD to an airport, either Dulles or BWI. Is this possible to do?

Greyhound services Ocean City. They leave from the West OC park and ride lot and go to New Carrollton, MD. From New Carrollton you can take the MARC Train to BWI or take a combination of the Metro Orange Line and a taxi to get to Dulles. For more information on Greyhound times call 800.231.2222 or go to https://www.greyhound.com/farefinder/step1.aspx . There is one bus a day from OC to New Carrollton that leaves OC at11:05am and arrives in New Carrollton at4:50pm. It costs between $40 and $60 depending how far in advance you reserve a seat and the options you select.

Another option is the Bay Runner Shuttle which runs from OC to BWI. It is about $100 and runs frequently.  More information on Bay Runner Shuttles can be found at http://www.bayrunners.com/

You can also fly from Salisbury airport to a few airports. They used to fly to BWI and Philadelphia from Salisbury.

When and where is the informative meeting regarding senior week? Also, how can one obtain a bus pass for the week?

As Darlene said, the Play It Safe website is your best resource. It is also worth reviewing this article on the risks and dangers of beach week when kids fail to use common sense.

You can get a free bus pass by attending Play it Safe events. More information can be found here. If you don't have a free pass you can ride the bus for $1 a ride or $3 a day.

My family is coming on vacation the week of June 24. I am a magician and greatly enjoy busking. I would like to get permission to perform for tips on the boardwalk. Any idea who I should be contacting. Thank you.

There are no permits required for performers on the boardwalk this summer, but there are some restrictions.

Performers are not allowed to operate a sound device that can be heard at a distance of 30 feet; and can't perform within 10 feet of tables, business entrances or the tram lane. They also are not allowed to block pedestrian and vehicle traffic, ramps, stairways, comfort station entrances or trash receptacles.

Best bet is get a hold of the chamber of commerce for your question.

No, not in OC. Pets are not allowed on the beach, boardwalk in OC till October 1st.

OC is not pet friendly this time of the year. Too many rules and regulations to fallow and cops will fine you if your break their laws regarding pets.
