This Wednesday McDonald’s will be giving out free one-way Breeze tickets with a coupon for a free McDonald’s Angus Third Pounder premium burger. The Try Free, Ride Free promotion will only last from 4-6PM at the Five Points Station, outside of the main entrances. The MARTA passes will be redeemable through the end of October, despite the new fare increases (from $1.75 to $2.00). We suggest saving for October to maximize your petty change.

“We’d like to thank McDonald’s for treating our customers to a free trip and tasty meal during the Angus burger promotion,” said MARTA General Manager/CEO Beverly A. Scott. “The economic downturn has made it a difficult year for MARTA and our customers, and we are grateful for this opportunity to say a special thank you to them for riding MARTA and continuing to support our transit system.”

Five bucks saved is enough to make us stop by on the way home!
