TTC offering free service after midnight on New Year’s Eve

Once again, the TTC is offering free rides to revellers looking to get home after New Year’s Eve.

The Toronto Transit Commission will have fare-free service beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Jan. 1 and continuing to 4 a.m.

Subway and surface routes will be open until 4 a.m. and regular Sunday service will begin at 9 a.m.

“While the TTC has traditionally sought sponsorship to cover the costs of this free service, I believe our public transit system can, and should, do its part to help curb impaired driving, while also demonstrating to our riders the TTC’s very real commitment to improved customer service – this is one such measure,” city councillor and TTC chair Karen Stintz said.

GO Transit is also free starting at 7 p.m. and some routes will run later than normal. Click here for the holiday schedule.

They’re good ways to get to and from Citytv’s annual New Year’s Eve Bash at Nathan Phillips Square, the premier freebie event of the year and the place where thousands of GTA residents choose to usher in the calendar change. Details on this year’s line-up can be found here.

The last trains leave Union Station at 3:30 a.m. for Finch Station, and at 3:34 a.m. for Downsview Station.

On the Bloor-Danforth line, the last train for Kipling Station leaves Bloor-Yonge at 3:37 a.m. and the last train for Kennedy leaves at 3:37 a.m.

The last train on the Scarborough RT leaves Kennedy Station at 4:05 a.m. for McCowan Station, and the last train on the Sheppard Subway leaves Sheppard-Yonge Station at 3:58 a.m. for Don Mills Station.

More than 100,000 people are expected to take advantage of the free ride.
