Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Suffolk Transit On holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Suffolk Transit On has 474 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Jitneys's written reviews are positive against 50% of Suffolk Transit On's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Jitneys ships an update daily, Suffolk Transit On every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
