Visit the Metro Transit website to review transit routes and make plans for a free ride this St. Patrick’s Day weekend.
For those celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in the Twin Cities, Molson Coors is once again partnering with Metro Transit to activate the Miller Lite Free Rides program. Minneapolitans will have access to fare-free public transportation from 6pm on Monday, March 17 until the end of regular service on all routes, as well as on all METRO bus and light rail, with extended service in the downtown area.
Miller Lite’s Free Rides program, which began in Milwaukee in 1988, has offered public transit to residents for almost four decades, underscoring Molson Coors’ commitment to promoting responsible celebrations and serving its hometown communities. Since its inception, more than 9 million rides have been provided nationwide.
St. Patrick’s Day Free Rides kicks off the 2025 program, which will extend nationwide during other major holidays and sporting events throughout the year. In 2024, Molson Coors partnered with local transit in 10 cities to provide fare-free rides on four different occasions. Last year, the program provided over 25,000 rides in the Twin Cities area alone.
To help increase access to free rides on St. Patrick’s Day, Metro Transit has also partnered with the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA), to provide transportation in the southern portion of the Twin Cities.
“For everyone celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in the Twin Cities, we are pleased to offer free rides again this year,” said Lesley Kandaras, general manager, Metro Transit. “Getting to your destination safely has never been easier. Simply hop on and enjoy a free ride courtesy of Miller Lite.”
