The Orange County Transportation Authority is doing its part to keep roads safe for people ringing in the New Year by offering free bus rides from 6 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, Thursday, Dec. 31, 2015 to 2:30 a.m. on New Year’s Day, Friday, Jan. 1, 2016.
For those who want to take advantage of the free ride but need an idea of where to go, OCTA recommends visiting the annual First Night in Downtown Fullerton for live entertainment, rides, food and a fireworks show. Several routes in Fullerton that serve this free event will have extended service hours.
Passengers planning a bus ride are encouraged to use the online trip planner in advance at octa.net or by calling (714) 636-7433. Extended times may vary depending on the route.
Last year, more than 9,000 riders took advantage of the free bus service on New Year’s Eve and about 130,000 have used it since it began in 2002.
