CTA, McDonald's Want to Fatten You Up, Give You Free Rides
By Chuck Sudo in Food on Sep 22, 2009 9:00PM
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.
Here's where to get your free stuff in the city tomorrow:
- 95th St. Red Line
- Addison Red Line
- Belmont Red/Brown/Purple Line
- Davis Purple Line
- Diversey Brown/Purple Line
- Fullerton Red/Brown/Purple Line
- Harlem Green Line
- Howard Red/Purple Line
- Jefferson Park Blue Line
- Pulaski Orange Line
