The L.A. Metro recently announced it will offer free bus and train rides on New Year’s Eve.
No fares will be collected between 9 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 31, through 2 a.m.

Metro also plans to add additional rail trains to all stations between midnight and 1 a.m. to accommodate the additional late-night passengers. Trains are scheduled to run every 20 minutes after 8 p.m.
It is a Metro tradition to provide free New Year’s Eve rides to “give Angelenos more transportation options to reach holiday destinations safely while avoiding holiday gridlock, parking costs and hassles,” the agency said.
People can also redeem a free 30-minute ride on Metro Bike Share through Jan. 1 by using the promo code: 010123.
For the Rose Parade in Pasadena on Jan. 2, Metro will provide a shuttle service to the post-parade viewing area for floats from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
