Metrorail, Metrobus, and MetroAccess won't cost a thing this New Year's Eve.

Take a train, bus or paratransit service starting at 8 p.m., Saturday and the ride will be free of charge. Service hours will also be extended for Metro until 2 a.m., with late-night Metrobus service on selected routes until 3 a.m. for customers connecting from train to bus, the agency said in a news release.

Metro will open faregates in stations and cover fareboxes on buses - no need to tap a SmarTrip card.
