LYNNWOOD — As the Puget Sound area prepares for New Year’s festivities, local transit agencies are too.
Sound Transit will run light rail until 2 a.m. Wednesday, with the last southbound train leaving Lynnwood at 2:01 a.m. The last northbound train will leave from Angle Lake at 1:55 a.m. The extended, late-night service will run every 15 minutes.
Link and Sound Transit Express buses are free from 4 a.m. Tuesday, to 3 a.m. Wednesday.
“The list of transit agencies participating in Fare Free New Year’s Eve continues to grow. From Tacoma to Everett, you can now leave your car at home and celebrate the start of 2025 without worrying about driving,” King County Executive and Sound Transit board chair Dow Constantine said in a release. “No matter where you plan to ring in the new year, we’ll get you there!”
Additionally, Everett Transit will be running fare-free on its regular weekday schedule for New Year’s. Community Transit will also be operating on its regular weekday schedule and will be fare-free from 4 a.m. Tuesday through the end of the service day.
Sound Transit also announced earlier this month it would be changing the cost of its express bus service from $3.25 down to $3 to match the regular light rail fare. A Sound Transit survey found 88% of respondents favored the change, the agency wrote in a press release.
