Metro Transit routes offer free rides on New Year’s Eve

Starting from midnight on New Year’s Eve, Metro Transit will be offering free rides on its various routes throughout the Twin Cities. This initiative aims to encourage residents and visitors to celebrate responsibly by providing a safe and convenient transportation option. So, if you are planning to toast to the arrival of the New Year at a party or event, you won’t have to worry about driving or finding a parking spot.

Green Line service concludes at midnight

However, it is important to note that the Green Line service will wrap up by midnight, as usual. This means that if you rely on the Green Line for transportation, make sure to plan your trip accordingly, as the last trains will depart from their respective stations. But don’t worry, there are still plenty of alternative transportation options available to ensure a smooth journey back home.

Metro Transit promotes safe celebrations

Metro Transit is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of its passengers, especially during special occasions like New Year’s Eve. By providing free rides on the majority of its routes, the transit agency hopes to reduce the number of drunk driving incidents and promote responsible partying.

Utilize other Metro Transit routes if Green Line is not an option

If your New Year’s Eve plans involve areas serviced by the Green Line, fear not. Metro Transit has an extensive network of routes that cover a wide range of locations. You can easily switch to an alternative route to get to your destination. The best way to plan your journey is to visit Metro Transit’s official website or use their mobile app, which provides real-time updates and detailed route information.

Prepare for longer wait times and increased ridership

Since New Year’s Eve is a popular night for celebration, Metro Transit is anticipating a significant increase in ridership. As a result, passengers should be prepared for longer wait times and potentially more crowded buses or trains. It is advisable to plan your journey in advance, leave early, and have patience as you commute to and from your desired destinations.

Other transportation options available

If Metro Transit doesn’t suit your New Year’s Eve plans, other transportation options are available in the Twin Cities. Ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft can provide a convenient alternative. Additionally, taxis, carpooling, and designated drivers are all viable choices for a safe and enjoyable celebration.

Have a happy and safe New Year’s Eve!

Whether you choose to take advantage of Metro Transit’s free rides or opt for an alternate form of transportation, the most important thing is to enjoy your New Year’s Eve celebration responsibly. By planning your trip in advance, staying aware of transportation schedules, and honoring public safety guidelines, you can ensure a memorable and safe start to the New Year. Cheers to 2022!
