MTA to offer free rides on Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve

MTA will offer free rides on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve on Metro Buses and Metro Rail to boost safety and reduce traffic congestion during the holidays.

On Christmas Eve, patrons can ride for free from 9 p.m. until closing time—generally around 2 a.m.—on the Metro Rail system, and from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. on the Metro Bus system.

On New Year’s Eve, all Metro Rail lines will operate all night to encourage easy travel to the Rose Parade in Pasadena. However, free rides will only be from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Metro Bus rides will be free from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Metro Rail and Metro Buses will operate on Sunday schedules Christmas and New Year’s Day, both of which fall on Thursdays. For more information, call (800) COMMUTE or visit the Website at www.Metro.Net.
