The CTA will also extend hours and increase the frequency of service for several bus and rail routes, the statement said.
Kiewiz said funding from MillerCoors covers the city’s operational costs of about $15,000 for the free rides, which includes staffing and advertising.
The Chicago Transit Authority will be offering free rides on all buses and trains this New Year’s Eve.
And remember: Don’t touch your Ventra fare card to the turnstiles or fare boxes during the free-ride period. The ride is free.
Kramer says Unity Taxi is working to make it as convienent at possible to get you home safely. The program is paid for by the participating towns and a grant from the Michael P. Gordon Foundation.
It’s New Year’s Eve and you should be planning your night out now before you head out to your destination.

“If we are able to eliminate one (impaired) person getting behind that wheel, I would tell you that, in itself, is successful”, Kiewiz said of the free rides. But it’s definitely not free. Double-check the estimated fare before arranging pickup.
