The Jitney Yellow Line is offering $5 round trips from Philadelphia to various Jersey Shore locations. The promotion is sponsored by beer company Pacifico.
Starting this weekend, shoregoers can take a $5 shuttle bus ride from Philadelphia to one of three Jersey Shore towns.
The Jitney Yellow Line is offering weekend trips on Fridays to Sundays and day trips on Saturdays to Margate (July 17-19), Wildwood (July 24-26) and Cape May (July 31-Aug. 2). The promotion is sponsored by Pacifico, and each passenger receives a swag bag of goodies and is invited to boozy "pre-hang" and "post-hang" parties with their fellow riders.

"As Pacifico continues to get discovered by people on the East Coast, we wanted to find a way to authentically bring our Baja vibes to Philadelphia and South Jersey this summer," Royce Carvalho, senior brand marketing director for Pacifico, said in a statement. "We know a trip down the Jersey Shore is a must-have summer experience and we're excited to take some of the headache out of that journey with the Pacifico Yellow Line Jitney."
