Looking for a fun way to ring in the new year? Here are our best bets.

New Year’s Eve is not a time for driving. Not only is it one of the deadliest when it comes to drunk and impaired drivers hitting the roads, but it’s also when ride-hailing services, such as Uber and Lyft, will be at their priciest.

The good news? There’s a much cheaper way to get around safely. The Bay Area’s largest transit services will be operating into the early hours of New Year’s Day, and most — including VTA, AC Transit, Caltrain, SamTrans and Muni — will be free.

BART will run until 3 a.m. on New Year’s Day with a special schedule that includes extra trains to and from San Francisco’s fireworks show along the Embarcadero. Beginning at 8 p.m., trains hailing from Antioch or Richmond will skip the Embarcadero station and stop at Montgomery, instead, to avoid crush-loaded platforms.

If you’re heading back to East Bay BART stops along the Richmond and Antioch lines, make sure to board at the Montgomery station, too. Trains heading to Dublin/Pleasanton and Warm Springs won’t stop at West Oakland. But, if that’s too much remember, just download BART’s new app. It’s literally called the “official BART app” and is available for iPhones and Androids. BART says it’s been updated to provide real-time info on the extra event trains, along with the later departure times and special schedule.

But, the best part about it? It doesn’t just give you directions for BART; it works with Muni, AC Transit and other services, too.

That’s good news because all other major transit services in the Bay Area will be free on New Year’s Eve. That’s right. Keep your Clipper card stowed away, because there’s no need to tap on or off Muni, Caltrain, AC Transit, SamTrans or VTA light-rail and buses.

Those free rides begin at 8 p.m. and will last until 5 a.m. for AC Transit, Muni, VTA and SamTrans, and until 2 a.m. for Caltrain, when the last train for the Peninsula and South Bay will depart San Francisco. Muni will be running extra “owl” service on its 5-Fulton, 14-Mission, 22-Fillmore, 24-Divisadero, 25-Treasure Island, 38-Geary, 44-O’Shaughnessy, 48-Quintara-24th, 90- and 91-Owl, L-Owl, and N-Owl lines.

AC Transit and SamTrans late-night service will also be running. And, Caltrain will add extra trains to accommodate fireworks crowds with two extra northbound trains running limited service in the evening to San Francisco and extra southbound trains following the fireworks show. Departure times will vary depending on crowd size, and post-fireworks trains will make all local weekend stops from San Francisco to San Jose.

If you can’t make it to a bus stop or train station, California’s Office of Traffic Safety is offering a $10 Lyft credit for customers in the San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles and San Diego coverage areas through Jan. 1, 2019. The special promo is courtesy of a $20,000 grant to stem impaired driving from the Governors Highway Safety Association. Details, availability and restrictions are outlined in the Lyft app.

And, if you absolutely need to drive your car on New Year’s Eve but still want to imbibe, there’s always AAA’s Tipsy Tow service. Free for members and non-members alike, Tipsy Tow will be available from 6 p.m. Monday until 6 a.m. Tuesday. A driver and a passenger can get towed up to 10 miles, after which motorists are charged a standard towing rate.

That doesn’t mean AAA will change your tire, restart your car, deliver gas or transport your whole crew. Nor will they take you to another bar or auto shop. They aren’t a cab, guys. But AAA will take you to your home, your friend’s home or a hotel. Not bad, right?
