Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) – The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada is doing its part to make the roads as safe as possible this New Year’s Eve, by once again offering free rides to all on its buses this New Year's Eve.
The free rides will be offered beginning December 31st at 6pm through January 1st at 9am, and will be available on all 39 CAT bus routes.
The free rides include transit service on major streets throughout the valley, with direct access to and from the Las Vegas Strip. Transit service to both the Las Vegas Strip and downtown Las Vegas is offered from the South Strip Transit Terminal (6675 S. Gilespie St.) via the Deuce and Route 109 (Maryland Parkway). Riders can plan trips through the free rideRTC app.
“We know travelers are eager to get to their destinations with their friends and family this holiday season,” said David Swallow, RTC deputy chief executive officer. “This is one of the busiest times of year for travel, and we urge anyone heading in or out of Las Vegas to plan ahead for heavy traffic and pack your patience.”
In addition to free service, the RTC will be running additional extended service hours on nine routes and complete 24-hour service on 14 routes. For complete detour and route details, visit rtcsnv.com/NewYears.
