NEWARK, NJ — NJ TRANSIT and Six Flags are teaming up to make it easy and affordable for thrill-seekers to get to the fun at Six Flags Great Adventure, Wild Safari or Hurricane Harbor.  Families planning a 2012 visit to the park can avoid the hassle and expense of driving by taking advantage of NJ TRANSIT’s discounted travel packages for express bus service. 

The savings are available on select days throughout the 2012 season for bus customers using the No. 308 and No. 318 lines for travel to and from the park.  The No. 308 operates between the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York and Six Flags, with an intermediate stop at Newark Penn Station, and the No. 318 operates between the Philadelphia Greyhound Bus Terminal and Six Flags, with a stop at the Walter Rand Transportation Center in Camden.
