Transportation from NYC to Atlantic City??

Question

I want to find the cheapest and most convenient transportation from NYC to Atlantic City and vice versa. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Answer 1

1. Train.  You can leave from Penn Station on Amtrak.  The cost is approximately $85 for a one way ticket.  Time to destination is 1 hour, 37 minutes.

2. Bus.  You can leave from Penn Station on Greyhound.  A one way ticket is $25.  Time to destination is 2 hours, 41 minutes.

3. Rent a car.  This is a two way option if you have a driver's license.  It can also be one way if you have some other means of transportation once you get there.  Car rental places charge a daily fee which varies according to size of the car.  You can probably find a car for about $25 a day.  There are fees on top and you have to put gas in it.

4. Mooch a ride with a friend.

No friend going your way?  The bus is the cheapest.  Go to the Greyhound site for a two-way price.

Answer 2

There are no cheapest.

Only realiable bus will be Academy Bus's Casino trip, but it cost you around $28~$32 depends from which location you board.

New Jersey Transit's #319 bus which operates bet. Port Authority and Cape May operates limited service to/from Atlantic City. Buses cost $28.50 one way, cheaper than Academy Bus or round off-peak ticket for $51.
