OCTA Rings In The New Year With Free Bus Rides

The transportation agency will play designated driver for the 11th year in a row and has a station in Laguna Niguel.

The Orange County Transportation Authority is helping make end of the year celebrations safe and hassle-free by providing free bus rides between 6 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, Dec. 31 and 2:30 a.m. on New Year’s Day, Jan. 1.

The Laguna Niguel station is located at 28200 Forbes Road.

“We are pleased to once again give residents a convenient way to travel this New Year’s Eve,” said OCTA Vice Chairman Gregory Winterbottom. “We encourage those out celebrating to leave the driving to OCTA and enjoy a free ride on the bus.”
