The free rides end at 2 a.m. on New Year’s Day. A price for one-way travel is $1.50, and a $5 Day Pass is good for unlimited rides until 3 a.m. the next day.
Those who insist on driving can also take advantage of AAA’s Tipsy Tow service, which is designed to keep potential drunk drivers off the road by towing vehicles up to seven miles. The service does not include rides for passengers, and destinations are restricted to a driver’s home.
