Answer
The Boardwalk tram is a paid seasonal ride along the boards—great for tired kids and longer north–south hops when operating. It is not a substitute for the Coastal Highway bus.
Hours shrink shoulder season; special events can alter stops. Walking is often faster in dense fireworks crowds.
Check same-week operating notes before you promise tram legs to grandparents.
