Miller Lite to provide free DART rides New Year's Eve
Miller Lite and Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) have teamed up for the third year to provide a safe travel option to driving on New Year's Eve with free rides on all buses, light rail trains, paratransit vehicles and the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) from Union Station to CentrePort/DFW Airport Station.
The partnership between Miller Lite and DART means no passes, tickets, GoPass app, coupons or money will be required to ride safely Sun., Dec. 31, from 6 p.m. until end of service.
The program began locally in 2015. Miller Lite Free Rides has provided more than 70,000 people in North Texas with safe, alternative transportation on New Year's Eve. Last year, more than 30,000 people took advantage of a Miller Lite Free Ride.
