Public transportation will be free in San Diego on New Year\u2019s Eve and run with extended late-night hours, in an effort to help riders get home safely on the celebratory evening.<\/p>\n
Rides will be free after 6 p.m. on Dec. 31 on all Metropolitan Transit System buses and trolley lines, as well as on Coaster and Sprinter trains and Breeze buses in North County. LIFT and NCTD+ will be free too.<\/p>\n
Both agencies will also extend the hours on some of their services. Trolley service usually stops at midnight but will go past 2 a.m. on New Year\u2019s on all lines.<\/p>\n
The last northbound Coaster will leave downtown San Diego\u2019s Santa Fe Depot at 1:20 a.m. and arrive in Oceanside at 2:22 a.m. The last Sprinter train leaves Escondido at 1:33 a.m. and leaves Oceanside at 2:33 a.m.<\/p>\n
On New Year\u2019s Day, both agencies will operate on a Sunday schedule<\/a>, with some services reduced, so be sure to check the schedule before you ride.<\/p>\n Find the full\u00a0MTS<\/a> and NCTD<\/a> New Year\u2019s Eve schedules on the agencies\u2019 websites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Public transportation will be free in San Diego on New Year\u2019s Eve and run with extended late-night hours,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":110789,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[181,23,100,74,76,75,1696,1967],"class_list":{"0":"post-110788","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-latest-headlines","9":"tag-local-news","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-san-diego","12":"tag-san-diego-headlines","13":"tag-san-diego-news","14":"tag-top-stories-sdut","15":"tag-transportation"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110788"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110788\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
