Getting to Atlantic City
The most popular way to get around Atlantic City is on the 4-mile long Boardwalk (the oldest in the United States), as eight of the eleven casinos are on the Boardwalk. While one's feet are the most popular way of navigating the boards, there are also old-fashioned rolling chairs that can be hired. These shaded surreys are rolled up and down the length of the Boardwalk by experienced guides, who are out soliciting riders day and night. The fee is based on the distance traveled, but expect a minimum fare of $5 plus tip.
One can also travel between the casinos along Pacific Avenue, which runs parallel to the Boardwalk 1 block inland, aboard the Atlantic City Jitney, tel. 609/344-8642, a fleet of minibuses that run 24 hours a day; the fare is $2. The baby-blue or green versions run to the Marina section of the city, where the Trump Marina and Harrah's casinos are located.
Airport Chariot - Sedan & Limousine, (609) 748-3506,[1]. Provides private sedan, airport shuttle, van & charter bus service between the Atlantic City / Southern NJ area and all airports & points in the northeastern US including: Atlantic City Airport, Newark Airport, Philadelphia Airport, JFK, LaGuardia, BWI, NYC, DC and their surrounding areas.
