CTA, McDonald's Want to Fatten You Up, Give You Free Rides

McDonald's will be giving away 5,000 free pre-paid transit cards and 5,000 coupons for a free Angus Third Pounder burger during morning rush tomorrow. The promotion is part of its “Try Free, Ride Free” campaign, mainly to promote the Angus Third Pounders — if you remove the "g" from "Angus" and the "h" from "Third" you'll have an idea of what we think of the burgers — but a free ride to work is alright, as well. 'Course, if you eat enough of these burgers, you won't be able to fit into your seat on the train and have shortness of breath running to catch your bus, but the latter is exercise. So that's good.

Next time you raise your hand to hail a cab, you may be lucky enough to catch a ride from Santa Claus, and for free! Taxi Affiliation Services and its affiliates will sponsor two Santa Taxis this month decorated with holiday trimmings and driven by the ho-ho-hoer himself, and in lieu of your payment, TAS will donate your fare to Children's Memorial Hospital. No word if Santa was involved in the recent strike.
