You can ride home free of fare on the TTC from BMO Field this Sunday, November 27 after the Canadian Football League ‘s annual Grey Cup championship game — courtesy of Freedom Mobile.
Free rides are available from 8:30 until 11 p.m. aboard streetcars operating along the 509 Harbourfront route and buses along the 511 Bathurst only. You can board the streetcars at Fleet Loop — on Fleet Street one block east of Exhibition Place — or the buses at Princes’ Gate Loop — at the east end of the Exhibition grounds.
If you plan to transfer to another TTC vehicle during your trip, make sure you pick up a paper transfer when you board, so that you can continue to ride for free.
