Late Night Metro Service, Free Rideshares for New Year's Eve

You'll need special codes to redeem discounted rides on Lyft and Uber

With rideshare freebie offerings and late night Metro service, you can get home safely after toasting to the New Year.

Metro

Metro says trains will run until 2 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2019 to provide a safe alternative for riders who are ringing in the new year. Metrorail stations normally close at 11:30 p.m. on weekdays.

Off-peak fares will be in effect and no track work is expected, Metro said.

“We are pleased to provide special late-night service to give those celebrating New Year's Eve a safe way home,” Metro General Manager and Chief Executive Officer Paul J. Wiedefeld said in a release.

Final train times can vary by station so Metro is encouraging customers to check their station’s website and add two and a half hours to the normal last train time, according to WMATA.

On New Year’s Day, the trains will be operating on a Sunday/holiday schedule with the Metrorail to open at 8 a.m. and close at 11 p.m.

D.C. Streetcar

The streetcar that runs along H Street will stay open until 2 a.m.
