On New Year’s Eve, most cities run busses. But they run on a skeleton schedule. Think of a zombie bus. It’s there, but it’s slow and kind of creepy.
They usually stop running very early. Like, before midnight. Bam! The clock strikes twelve, and your ride turns into a pumpkin. You better have legs of steel or a friend with a car.
Here is the quirky part. Some cities offer free busses on New Year’s Eve. They want you to party safely. It’s like the city is your designated driver. How cute is that?
But don't get too excited. These free rides often end at 2:00 AM. That’s when the real chaos begins. You’ll be singing “Auld Lang Syne” on a cold sidewalk.
Why do they stop so early?
It’s not just to ruin your night. Driver shortages are a huge problem. Nobody wants to work the graveyard shift on the biggest party night. Can you blame them?
Also, drunk people are a nightmare for bus drivers. Imagine a bus full of glitter, noisemakers, and off-key singing. That’s a special kind of hell.
So, the bus driver clocks out to go party. Smart move. You are left to figure out if that yellow line in the street is actually a taxi.
