The beginning of The Florida Jitney. The genesis of The Florida Jitney occurred more than twenty years ago. The Scottish-American entrepreneur and founder, Timothy McLennan, had worked and lived in Europe and found the joys of traveling on luxurious buses to be an aspect of ground transport sorely lacking in the United States. From London, Berlin, Zurich and Rome, Mr. McLennan has invested the initial seed money on the premise that American's want more and want "better".

Fast forward to the new millennium in the United States and still no widespread luxury ground transit system exists. With the launching of "The Central Florida Express," the Florida Jitney takes its first step in creating a state-wide Jitney system, emphasizing high style, high tech and low fares. The Florida Jitney has decided to build a transportation system that offers all of its guests unparalleled luxury, convenience and affordability. McLennan has invested more than $250,000 in initial seed money on the premise that American's want more and want better. "If our guests receive 'more' and 'better,' they will be willing to give Ground Transportation a try, McLennan believes. The one thing Americans won't put up with is doing with "less." We all want to enjoy the "good life" and the Florida Jitney staff makes pampering its guests a top priority. If American's were willing to put up with less, the one major nationwide bus company wouldn't have a reputation in shambles. McLennan blames their standards for single-handedly destroying the reputation of bus service in the United States. "As a result, I try to avoid using "the B-word" referring to bus, as much as possible," McLennan says. After all, how often do you come across a family or a colleague eager to spend their yearly vacation on board Greyhound?

According to Sean Keys of Fleet Operations, the fleet of The Florida Jitney has been mentioned as "Land Yachts." They have also been called "Limo-Liners" and have heard our newest Jitney's referred to as "Private Jets on wheels." But most importantly, we would prefer to be called your "preferred choice in travel."

As long as the Florida Jitney continues to operate with the philosophy of treating its passengers as guests, it will continue its march to statewide dominance. We have already been called "America's most luxurious Shuttle Service." All of us at the Florida Jitney look forward to earning our stripes with YOU!
