Free Ride is a game mode in Mafia.
Free ride is immediately available when the game is started, unlike Free Ride Extreme. Within this game mode, there are two options: Small City and Town.
- Small City mode - You can play this mode after you finish the first story chapter. In it you only have available a part of the city.
- Town mode - This mode is achieved as you progress through the story mode, and lets you play throughout the city and the countryside. You can also choose between day and night.
You can also set the density of the pedestrian traffic, police patrols, and vehicle traffic once those options become available.
