Do I have to be at a designated bus stop to catch the bus?

It depends on the route. The Edgartown section of Route #1 is at designated stops only. Route #13 has one drop off and pick up point at the “Jaws Bridge" along the Beach Road corridor. Along all other routes buses may be flagged anywhere along their route, as long as it is safe for them to stop. If traveling at night, it is a good idea to bring a small flashlight to help flag the bus.
