Free St. Patrick’s Day Rides in Twin Cities

For the 12th consecutive year, Metro Transit in Minneapolis/St. Paul is partnering with MillerCoors to provide free rides home on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, as a safe transportation alternative to driving. While Metro Transit is spearheading the program, the partnership includes the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority in Burnsville, MN, and Plymouth Metrolink in Plymouth, MN.

From 6 p.m. until the end of service March 17, the three transit agencies will provide free rides on all buses and Hiawatha Line light rail to and from such holiday destinations as restaurants, family gatherings, events, and other venues.

Metro Transit General Manager Brian Lamb called the partnership “a great way to introduce people to the convenience of riding the bus and train, especially on popular holidays when many people are out celebrating. We encourage everyone to make public transportation part of their St. Patrick’s Day tradition. Using free train and bus service helps ensure people get home safely.”
