Do you have plans this Friday and would appreciate a free ride? Well, now's your chance to get going.

The TTC, in partnership with Polar Ice Vodka, is offering Torontonians a free ride on Friday, April 8, 2022.

The 504 King streetcar will be free for anyone travelling down on route from 5:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. this Friday. All you've got to do is hop on, no cash, tokens or taps needed.

The PRESTO machine will be covered up to ensure no one taps on.

According to Polar Ice, "after two seasons of playing away from home, the city is celebrating the return of their favourite baseball team."

The vodka brand and the TTC are "bringing fans together by offering complimentary streetcar rides to help them travel to and from their game-day activities."

"I know residents in this city have been waiting to see baseball fully back in Toronto this summer and these complimentary rides will help ensure that fans get to and from the game safely," said Mayor John Tory.

"Let's get ready for an exciting baseball season in Toronto! Let's Go Blue Jays!"

If you thought that was enough to lift the spirits of Blue Jays fans, TTC Chair Jaye Robinson said that some streetcars throughout April will be "specially wrapped" in blue to support the city's baseball team.

"After two years, I am excited to see the vibrancy of Toronto returning in time for a new baseball season," Robinson said.
