Jitney and bus are both vehicles used for public transportation. However, the difference between jitney and bus is their size, regulation, cost, schedule, and comfort. A jitney is a smaller, privately-owned vehicle that operates on a less formal and regulated basis, often with lower costs but fewer amenities. Whereas, a bus is a larger, more formal vehicle that operates on a fixed schedule, with higher costs but more comfort and amenities.
