About this app

Salem Skipper makes it easier than ever to move around the city of Salem, MA — with a few taps, book a ride using the app and we’ll pair you with others headed your way. No detours, no delays.

What we’re about:
SHARED.
Our tech matches people headed in the same direction. This means you’re getting the convenience and comfort of a private ride with the efficiency, speed, and affordability of a public one.

SUSTAINABLE.
Sharing rides reduces the number of vehicles on the roads, bringing down congestion and CO2 emissions. With a couple of taps, you get to do your part to make your city a little bit greener and cleaner, every time you ride.

AFFORDABLE
Rides are priced comparable to public transport and there are additional discounts for passengers who qualify. Head to salemskipper.com for more information.


How does Salem Skipper work?
- Salem Skipper is an on-demand travel concept that takes multiple passengers heading in the same direction and books them into a shared vehicle. Using the Salem Skipper app, input your address and we’ll match you with a vehicle going your way. We’ll pick you up on a nearby corner and drop you off within a short walk of your chosen destination. Now for the clever bit; our algorithms provide journey times that are comparable to a taxi and much more convenient than other modes of travel, making public transportation easier than ever before!


How long will I wait
- You'll always get an accurate estimate of your pick-up ETA before booking.
- You can also track your bus in real time using the app.

Horrible app, we have been left stranded a few times but they still charged us. Driver's are unreliable, not friendly, and the one time we actually did managed to get a ride the driver pulls out and almost side swiped another car. The other driver we managed to get drove past out pickup spot then slammed on his brakes at the last moment. We still have two days here in Salem but from now on we have decided to use Uber. A little more money but they are more reliable so worth it.

Convenient when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. More often than not there's not a single skipper available, and when there is they're usually at least half an hour away. Had a couple of times that the driver pulled up and immediately drove off when they didn't see me right away. Even though there's options to contact the driver they'll never contact you first.

Unreliable. I was stranded for an hour because my skipper arrived, stopped as I walked up to it, then sped off without warning. There's no way to report drivers either, which is infuriating
