History and Evolution of Hampton Jitney
Hampton Jitney was founded by James Davidson in 1974 with the original concept of shuttling Hamptonites between South Hampton and Montauk, offering an alternative transportation method during the energy crisis. Initially facing financial challenges, the business evolved into a route between New York City and the South Fork, featuring small buses that provided a unique party-like experience for passengers. The company gained popularity and received support from various individuals, including celebrities like Lauren Bacall and artist Roy Lichtenstein.
