I've taken the Casino Buses from Port Authority numerous times, especially during my "no-car" era and I found them to be very efficient, cheap and comfortable.
In Port Authority there is a designated area to purchase and board the many buses that take you to AC for about $22 which includes some sort of voucher redemable for either cash (depends on the casino you decide to go to) or for slot plays equivalent to the purchase price of your ticket on the bus.
The is a very popular and inexpensive way to spend some time in AC especially the price of the bus would be "free". Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Private Buses depart most locations from the surrounding states of New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland.
For example: Hunt Valley Motorcoaches in Baltimore offers a $25 round trip. With this you get a $5 meal voucher, and $20 cash when you arrive!!! Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

We always drive to AC and the best and easiest route from NYC is the Garden State Parkway, exit 38 (not 38 A), which takes you to the Atlantic City Expressway directly into Atlantic City. There is a toll plaza as you approach the AC Expressway.
There are signs indicating the location of your hotel, either uptown, downtown and the marina, so pay attention so you won't be going around in circles. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

We drove to A.C. From New York it was about 3 hours. It was a pretty easy drive and there were signs all over the place so you can't miss it. They have an airport, train station and bus station so even if you don;t want to take the car it's easy to get here. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Any day of the week, you can catch a train to Atlantic City from Philadelphia's 30th Street Station. Leave a Comment

There is a great new way to get to Atlantic City from New York City without the added stress or hassle of the New Jersey Shore traffic tht you can encounter at the Garden State Parkway.
Currently the train is only available during the weekends (Fri-Sun) at a really cheap one way fare of $29. The ride takes about 2 hours 45 minutes from New York Penn Station making one stop at Newark Penn Station before arriving in Atlantic City.
I personally have not taken the train as I always drive, but this seems like a good idea for those individuals that do not want to deal with the hassle of driving, or the buses to AC and those who do not have a car.
Check out their website for more information. Leave a Comment

People seem to have a hard time figuring out which airport to fly into when visiting Atlantic City. Of course there is the very small Atlantic City Airport, but that really only helps you if you are traveling from Florida, Myrtle Beach, Detroit or Cincinnati. Spirit Airlines (www.spiritair.com) is the main airline at ACY, Delta does 2 flights a day to Cincinnati. Most people fly into Philadelphia Airport, it is a large airport with most major airlines flying to/from it frequently. It is only a 1-hour drive from Atlantic City, which is not bad considering that Atlantic City Airport is 15 minutes away from Atlantic City because the airport is actually a few towns away from the city. Newark Airport would be your second choice; it's a little less than 2 hours away. These three airports are your best bet, do anything you can to fly into any of these three airports. JFK, BWI & LaGuardia are all about a 3-hour drive from AC, but are a pain in the neck to deal with, but are still accessible to Atlantic City. International travels usually have very little choice other than flying into JFK because it is the largest international airport on the east coast with the most choices of Airlines. BWI is the furthest from Atlantic City.
2) Airport Shuttle & Limo service
Contrary to popular belief there are no free casino shuttles from the Airports to the Casinos. In fact there are really no shuttle services at all to Atlantic City. Most people choose to use car service & limo companies. Using a company like this is exactly what I suggest if you need ground transportation from any of the above airports or NYC, DC, or Philly. The company I work for uses Airport Chariot (www.airportchariot.com) 609-748-3506 to get people between the Airports & the Atlantic City area. I use their sedan service personally and so far they've done a great job. They also seem to have the cheapest prices in the area. They have sedans, Limos & charter buses for large groups.

 An Atlantic City Local Bus by matt1168
The best way to tour the boardwalk area is on foot.
Public Busses operate up and down Atlantic and Pacific Avs. as far as Vetnor, and local busses connect Atlantic City with surrounding towns. The 319 bus connects AC with New York City, and Atlantic City being a major hub for NJ Transit buses has medium-distance service to many cities in NJ.
Jitneys (minibuses) operate on an extensive network throughout AC and connect the boardwalk area with the Harbour, the train station, and the airport, while the rolling chairs on the boardwalk are always a (expensive) favorite.
Cabs can be flagged down or called. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
