Get around Portland for Free
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. 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, the MAX will run for extended hours until 3 a.m., with shuttle buses from the MAX Red Line running until 3:30 a.m. On January 1, buses, MAX and Portland Streetcar will run on Sunday schedules.
