The Toronto Transit Commission will offer free, extended service on New Year’s Eve to encourage responsible decision making by revellers around the city.

From 7 p.m. on Dec. 31 to 7 a.m. on Jan. 1, commuters can use TTC services for free thanks to a new partnership between the transit commission and Corby Spirit and Wine.

“Through their three-year agreement with TTC to sponsor our free New Year's Eve service, Corby Spirit and Wine is highlighting the important public service our TTC provides and the need to act responsibly by not drinking and driving," TTC Chair Karen Stintz said in a release issued Monday. "On behalf of my council colleagues and fellow commissioners, I thank Corby Spirit and Wine for their contribution and for helping the TTC keep Toronto safe. Please welcome the New Year with the TTC."

In addition to providing free service for commuters, extended service will be offered on most routes, including:
