Free bus rides provide safe and convenient way to travel
Dec. 23, 2010
ORANGE – The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is working to make the end of the year celebrations safe and hassle-free by offering free bus rides between 6 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, Dec. 31, and 2:30 a.m. on New Year’s Day, Jan. 1.
“We encourage those out celebrating New Year’s Eve to leave their cars at home and enjoy a ride aboard an OCTA bus,” said OCTA Chairman Jerry Amante. “This is the ninth year we’re providing the service in hopes of keeping Orange County residents and visitors safe while they ring in the new year.”
Last year, there were 10,269 free New Year’s Eve boardings and more than 87,000 boardings since the program began in 2002.
