If you are headed out of the Santa Clarita Valley for New Year’s Eve celebrations Metro will offer free service on all Metro-operated bus and light rail lines on Saturday Dec. 31 New Year’s Eve from 9 p.m. Saturday to 2 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 1 New Year’s Day to help everyone travel safely.

The fare gates at all Metro Rail stations will be unlatched, and fare boxes and validators will not deduct fare from TAP cards and fare media from 9 p. m. to 2 a.m. on New Year’s Eve. To plan your trip, use the Transit app.

If you’re headed to Grand Park for the annual New Year’s Eve celebration, the B/D Line subway’s Civic Center Station is adjacent to the park.
