An article published last month incorrectly stated that Frog Hop is the only free ride service on Siesta Key offering door-to-door transportation. That statement was inaccurate, and we would like to clarify the record.

Jonny’s Original Free Ride, the longest-operating free ride service on Siesta Key, also provides complimentary, door-to-door transportation throughout the island. The company has served both residents and visitors for years and continues to operate daily, offering an alternative transportation option on the barrier island.

Jonny’s Original Free Ride operates 365 days a year from 10 a.m. to late night. The service covers all of Siesta Key, as well as select destinations just off the north and south bridges, helping riders connect to nearby businesses and locations beyond the island. According to the company, average response time is generally less than 15 minutes, depending on traffic and demand.

The business is locally owned by William Burns. Drivers are not salaried employees and work solely for tips, a model common among free ride services. Company representatives say drivers are well acquainted with Siesta Key and the surrounding area and are available to offer recommendations, directions and general information to passengers, particularly visitors unfamiliar with the community.

Those seeking a ride may call 941-928-9200 to request service.

We strive for accuracy in our reporting and regret the error. We appreciate the opportunity to provide this clarification to ensure readers have complete and accurate information about transportation options available on Siesta Key.
