For the 24th year in a row, Muni will offer free rides in San Francisco on New Year's Eve to reduce drunk driving incidents.
From Sunday night through 5 a.m. Monday, Muni buses will be traversing the city to shuttle people at no cost, with extra OWL bus routes running until the wee hours.
Extra Muni subway service will begin at 8 p.m. Sunday and run until 2:15 a.m. Monday.
A spokesperson for Muni said the agency was taking a cue from San Francisco's Vision Zero plan to eliminate traffic fatalities. Since all rides are free, passengers are reminded not to tap their Clipper cards to ensure they don't get charged.
Muni Mobile passes will also not be necessary. All Muni fare gates will simply remain open.
Caltrain will be free after 8 p.m. on New Year’s Eve. Extra trains will operate between San Jose and San Francisco. Extra southbound trains will depart San Francisco at 1 a.m., 1:30 a.m. and 2 a.m.
BART will provide additional service on Jan. 1, but there are no free rides.
The last East Bay bound train running through Downtown San Francisco will be at around 1:30 a.m. and the last Southbound train heading toward Millbrae will run through Downtown San Francisco at 2:10 a.m.
SamTrans service will be free from 8 p.m. on Sunday.
