GO Transit is offering free transportation on its trains and buses on New Year’s Eve, Sunday, December 31.
“Leave the driving to us,” said GO Chairman Peter Smith. “We encourage people to celebrate responsibly by not drinking and driving that evening.”
People can ride free from 7 p.m. until service ends that night on all GO Trains and GO Buses running on a Sunday, including the Lakeshore East and Lakeshore West train lines.
The last Lakeshore trains going east to Oshawa and west to Oakville leave Union Station at 1:13 a.m. that night. Bus times vary, depending on the route, and passengers should check with GO before riding.
It’s kind of late notice now, but good for future reference: BC Transit is also free on New Year’s Eve after 5pm. They also extend their services later (to 2:30am), although I’m not sure if that’s for all the bus routes. Best to plan ahead, of course.
