Some transit agencies actually run free busses on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day as a safety measure. They call it “New Year’s Eve Service,” and it’s designed to keep drunks off the road. Which is awesome! But then you get on the bus at 2 PM on January 1st, and it’s full of sleepy employees and people returning from grandma’s house. Not a party bus, sorry.

My advice? Call ahead if you’re really worried. Or, better yet, just embrace the chaos. If you miss the bus, you can always pretend you’re in a scene from a indie movie. Staring dramatically at the horizon, scarf billowing in the wind.
The real question: Should you even take the bus?
Let’s be honest—if you’re reading this, you’re probably already at home in your pajamas. And that’s exactly where you should be. New Year’s Day is a national hangover day, and the bus schedule is just the universe’s way of telling you to chill out. So order delivery, watch a marathon, and save the bus adventure for January 2nd.
But if you gotta go somewhere? Plan ahead, double-check, and pack snacks. Because nothing ruins a “new year, new me” vibe like waiting an hour for a bus that never shows up. Been there, done that, got the frostbitten toes.
So, are busses running on New Year’s Day? Maybe. But honestly, the best bus is the one you don’t have to catch. Happy New Year—now go put on some fuzzy socks and forget the schedule exists.
