For those travelling around the city to attend New Year’s Eve festivities, the entire TTC system will again be free for riders for the fifth consecutive year.

The public will be able to board buses, trains, and streetcars for free on all routes starting at 7 p.m. on Dec. 31 until 7 a.m. on Jan. 1.

The transit agency says most routes with Sunday late-evening service will continue until 4 a.m. Here’s a list of departure times for last trains in all the subway lines:

Last trains on Line 1 leave Union Station at 3:30 a.m. for Finch Station and 3:38 a.m. for Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station.

The last northbound train on Line 1 will connect at Bloor-Yonge Station with the last eastbound and westbound trains on Line 2, and at Sheppard-Yonge Station with the last eastbound train on Line 4.

Last trains on Line 2 leave Bloor-Yonge Station at 3:37 a.m. for Kipling Station and at 3:37 a.m. for Kennedy Station. The last eastbound train on Line 2 will connect at Kennedy Station with the last eastbound train on Line 3.

Last train on Line 3 leaves Kennedy Station at 4:06 a.m. for McCowan Station

Last train on Line 4 leaves Sheppard-Yonge Station at 3:58 a.m. for Don Mills Station.

TTC says fare boxes on buses and older streetcars will be covered during the free period. TTC paddle gates at all stations will be left open to ensure customers can move as quickly and easily as possible. PRESTO machines will be turned off and PRESTO card holders should not tap their cards.

The free ride service is being sponsored by Corby Spirt and Wine, which signed an agreement with the transit agency to fund it until 2019.

“The TTC is pleased to once again partner with Corby to get more than 250,000 New Year’s Eve revelers to and from their celebrations safely,” TTC chair Josh Colle said in a statement. “We are proud to be able to offer this service on what is one of our busiest nights of the year.”

On New Year’s Day, the TTC will operate on a Sunday schedule with the subways and most routes start at 8 a.m.

GO transit and the UP Express will also be free on New Year’s Eve after 7 p.m. Additional late-night trips have also been added.
