Free? We LOVE free stuff!

The San Francisco Chronicle

Nothing says “I love you” like a cuppa free joe.

Yes, they might have recently raised ticket prices, but the lovely people at BART are organizing a giveaway Thursday at six BART stations, starting at 6 a.m.

Volunteers will be handing out 50,000 coupons for a free fair-trade latte or drip coffee at Tully’s Coffee. They say the promotion goes until 9 a.m., but we sort of doubt there will be enough coupons to last, so get there early.

Here’s the best part: The promotion is the first of FOUR scheduled this year. All told, the four events will cost Tully’s more than $2 million, according to BART officials. No dates yet on the future promos.

The coupons will be distributed at the four downtown San Francisco stations (Embarcadero, Montgomery, Powell and Civic Center) as well as Oakland 12th Street and Downtown Berkeley.

A final cool fact: Tully’s serves its java in compostable cups.
