The free rides will again be offered on all OC Bus fixed routes from 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 31, to 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 1, the transit agency stated. No special passes will be required.
"OC Bus offers a safe and reliable way to reach popular destinations around Orange County, including ... Downtown Fullerton, Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm and more," the agency said.
People planning to travel before 6 p.m. will be asked to pay the regular $2 fare -- but OCTA pointed out that youth and college students already enjoy free rides under the Youth Ride Free pass (for riders age 6-18) and the College Pass, which is available to students at all nine Orange County community colleges.
OCTA has been providing free New Year's Eve bus rides since 2002.
