MCTS to offer FREE rides on New Year's Eve

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Once Christmas comes and goes, our thoughts turn to the celebration of a new year. 

If you plan to party on New Year's Eve, you'll be happy to hear about a tradition that's coming back. 

"Join us on the bus. Let our drivers do the driving for you," said Kristina Hoffman, MCTS director of marketing and communication.

The Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) is once again working with Molson Coors to offer free bus rides on New Year's Eve. 

Starting at 8 p.m. on Dec. 31, you can get on any bus in Milwaukee County without paying. 

The goal, of course, is to get everyone home safely. 

On some of the more popular bus routes, the service will extend all the way until 4 a.m. on New Year's Day.
