Jameson offers free public transportation on
TTC streetcar routes
TORONTO, March 12, 2019 /CNW/ - For the second year
in a row, Jameson Irish Whiskey is partnering with the TTC to
provide free, safe rides to Torontonians as they travel to and from
St. Patrick's Day festivities. From 7 p.m.
to 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, March 17th rides on the
501 Queen and 504 King routes are completely free.
"St. Patrick's Day is one of our most celebrated days of the
year and it's also one of the busiest," says Alice Carroll, Brand Manager, Jameson Irish
Whiskey. "Deciding which party to attend or bar to visit to
celebrate with your friends is enough to think about. Your safe
ride? We've got you covered. Your drink of choice? We'd recommend a
Jameson, Ginger and Lime. On St. Patrick's Day, or any day."
"The TTC is proud to partner with Jameson Irish Whiskey once
again to offer safe, reliable service free of charge this St.
Patrick's Day," said TTC Chair Jaye
Robinson. "We hope customers will take advantage of the
complimentary service and have a safe and fun celebration."
Fare boxes on streetcars will be covered, as will PRESTO card
readers. Customers connecting to the subway or another route from
the 501 or 504 must pay their fare when entering or boarding at
their transfer point.
Jameson Irish Whiskey and the TTC encourage Torontonians to take
public transit; please don't drink and drive.
