The Freeze the keys promotion is back again! Party goers get free light rail rides on New Year’s Eve again in 2015 while they welcome in 2016. You will find a LOT of things to do along the entire line this New Year’s Eve. Downtown Phoenix is going to be partying, the Tempe Block Party is going on and Downtown Mesa gets their first “light rail New Year’s Eve!”
Everyone likes a free ride, right? Well, thanks to Coors Light, New Year’s Eve Party Goers will get a free ride on the light rail cars after 7pm.
But, if you drive to a park and ride lot, jump on a train, go get hammered on New Year’s Eve and take the train back to your car, you’ll be fine, right? Well, that’s probably not the real message the people at METRO and the big wigs at Coors Light, the City of Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa want you to get from their latest PR play but…
Have fun and FREEZE the KEYS! If you don’t live along the line, be sure to use Uber from the park and ride lots after your night ( or morning ) is over!
