Starting at 9pm Pacific Time on December 31, no fare will be charged for any service on Metro bus and rail lines. The rail lines and the Orange bus line will operate all night every 2o minutes. Regular fares start up again at 2AM on New Year’s Day (so get your drunk ass home before then or it’ll cost you $1.25 for travel in one direction).
Additionally, Metro urges you to use the Gold Line on Friday for the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl game. Special shuttles will travel from the Sierra Madre Villa station to the viewing grounds where you can see the Rose Parade floats after the parade is over (12:30 to 2:30PM).
If you are not in Los Angeles, you can watch the parade on ABC, Hallmark Channel, HGTV, KTLA (Tribune), NBC, RFD-TV, Travel Channel, and Univision.

Having live a large part of my adult life in Los Angeles I applaud this move as sensible and ultimately cost efficient for the city. After all, one emergency call can cost the tax payers tens of thousands of dollars. Isn’t it more sensible to spend that money on cab fair and save lives in the process?
