On New Year’s Eve, Trimet is helping you get home safely for free. Free Ride on New Year’s Eve
Starting at 8 p.m. on December 31, 2021, all rides on buses, MAX trains and streetcars will be offered for free. No need to tap your Hop card or buy a ticket at the station. All transfers are also free.
If you’re going out on the town, plan your route on public transit beforehand (make sure you select January 1 for trips after midnight). I recommend saving the route link on your phone, which is especially helpful if you’re toasting the new year with a delicious adult beverage. Or two. Cheers!
On New Year’s Eve, most MAX lines will run for extended hours. The Blue, Green, Orange and Yellow lines will run until 3 a.m., with trains available every 30 minutes. On January 1, or after midnight, buses, MAX and the streetcar will run on Sunday schedules.
