All of the commission's subways, streetcars and buses will be free of charge for everyone to ride between 7 p.m. on December 31 and 7 a.m. on January 1 — good news for all you late-night partiers.
Lines will see regular Monday to Friday service during the day, with late evening service extended by a few hours. Standby trains will also be added on lines 1 and 2 late at night, though the usual daytime standby and service relief vehicles will be cancelled.
Just a reminder, the TTC is free from 7pm until 7am! #DontDrinkAndDrive

The plan has been a generally successful move by the transit authority to help cut down on drunk driving and make roads less jam-packed than they have to be on the holiday.
