The métro will run on extended hours on New Year’s Eve, the city’s transit agency has announced.
The Green, Orange and Yellow Lines will run two hours later than usual on the night of Dec. 31 to Jan. 1 so partygoers can take transit to get to and from their celebrations and not have to worry about leaving early.
The last trains on all three lines will be timed so they arrive, depart or pass through the Berri-UQAM station at 3 a.m. Normally the last trains pass at 1 a.m., or 1:30 a.m. on Saturday nights.
The Blue Line will run on its normal hours for the night.
The STM’s night buses will also run according to their regular schedule.
As part of a new holiday tradition, the STM is swapping the names of six of the stations along its network. From Dec. 2-9 métro users are invited to follow the transit agency’s social media accounts for clues to find the holiday-themed stations, which will give them a chance to win a map of the STM’s holiday-inspired métro map.
