Between DUI checkpoints and parking nightmares, there was already little reason to be driving (sober or drunk) in Long Beach this New Year’s Eve. Free rides and extended late-night service out of Downtown offered by the Long Beach Transit all but ensure partygoers get home safely.
Starting at 5PM on December 31, free system-wide rides will be available on Long Beach Transit as well as extended service from the First Street Transit Gallery that will run on certain lines until 2:30AM. The free bus service was made possible by Downtown Long Beach Associates in promotion of the New Year’s Eve concert and festivities happening in Downtown Long Beach.
Service leaving the Frist Street Transit Gallery will run regularly through 12:30AM with extended service buses leaving at 1:30AM and 2:30AM.
Call Long Beach Transit at (562) 591-2301 or visit their website for custom trip planning.
