BART riders, rejoice! If you’re picking up BART on Thursday, Jan. 31 sometime between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m., you’ll get to revel in free coffee. This year, Tully’s Coffee teams up with BART on BART Ride Thank You Day.

Expect to see volunteers handing out 50,000 coupons next week. Coupons will be good for a free latte or drip coffee. Yeah, you’ll need it if you’re riding BART that early.

Downtown Berkeley is among the participating stations. If you’re elsewhere that day, you can also pick up your coupon at Civic Center, Powell St, Montgomery St, Embarcadero and Oakland 12th St. Wake up and smell the free stuff!

BART will offer New Year’s Eve flash passes to help curb drunk driving (and–let’s face it–to promote the wonderfulness that is BART). Passes are $6 and will be valid from Dec. 31 at 6 p.m. to Jan. 1 at 3 a.m.

Seven thousand passes are available to buy. You can pick one up at the following locations: Safeway, Lake Merritt customer service or MyTransitPlus stores in San Francisco.

Last year, we discovered that the SF buses ran for free on New Year’s Eve, so here’s to quick and easy public transportation while you’re getting trashed. Legally, of course.

Happy firework day, all. Enjoy the festivities. Try not to get too drunk/sun-burnt. And don’t get shaded out by all the bomb sniffing dogs on BART.
