TRACK YOUR RIDE:

Download the “Jitney Surfer” app to track the location of approaching jitneys in real time. Future generations of the app will allow for the online purchase of tickets (but that service is currently available only to riders in Atlantic City. Please do not use that function for Ocean City ridership).

An easier way to access “Jitney Surfer” and to provide comprehensive information for everything you need to know about enjoying Ocean City is through the Ocean City Vacation (OCNJ) app. Download Jitney Surfer on AppleDownload Jitney Surfer on Google.
