Posted

C-TRAN is offering free bus service across its entire system this News Year’s Eve.

All C-TRAN routes will be free starting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 31, and continuing until the end of service. Several routes will also be extended into the early hours of Wednesday, Jan. 1. Routes 34, 48, 60, 65, 71, 80, The Vine on Fourth Plain and The Vine on Mill Plain will run until about 2 a.m. or later. Full New Year’s Eve schedules are available at c-tran.com/newyears.



According to a news release, C-TRAN encourages anyone traveling to a New Year’s Eve celebration to be safe, plan ahead and make transit part of the evening instead of getting behind the wheel. For people celebrating in Portland, TriMet and the Portland Streetcar are providing free service after 8 p.m. on New Year’s Eve. Most MAX lines will also operate on extended hours.

For routes without extended hours, buses will operate on regular weekday schedules on Dec. 31. Extended-hour route schedules vary. Use the Transit app to plan trips and get real-time arrival information, or call Customer Service at 360-695-0123.
