Going out on New Year's Eve? CapMetro is offering you a free ride home

You can catch a free Capital Metro ride on New Year's Eve from 5 p.m. until the end of service.

AUSTIN — If you're going to be ringing in the New Year anywhere but your own living room, getting home safely is a top priority.

To help you out, Capital Metro is offering to drive you home -- for free!

You can catch a free ride from CapMetro on New Year's Eve from 5 p.m. until the end of service.

The MetroRail will be extending its service until 2:30 a.m., as will the MetroRapid lines. The MetroBus lines will be operating on their regular weekday service schedule.

A reminder: The South 1st St. bridge will be closed beginning at 8 p.m. The last MetroRapid buses will depart downtown Austin at 2:30 a.m., so CapMetro encourages you to catch the bus at stops along Congress Ave. instead.
