Safe traveling in Portland on New Years Eve

Travel safely, Portland!  Don't drive and if a car must be involved, designate a 100% non-drinking driver. Please note that biking while intoxicated is illegal, too. We know how you are, Portland!  Not only is biking drunk illegal, it's dangerous and...dumb. So, with that, here are your mass transit options for travel on New Years Eve in Portland.

TriMet service is free after 8pm on New Years Eve. Buses will run on weekday schedules, and MAX will be running extra late. Check schedules online at TriMet.org

Historical Cab Encounters of the Crappy Kind predict you'll wait hours upon hours for a cab but if you really want one, here are some Portland taxi and cab options.
