Cheers to the New Year! Ride the TTC for free on New Year’s Eve
Ring in 2026 with free TTC travel across the city from 7 p.m. on December 31 until 8 a.m. on January 1. No fare is required! Just board any TTC bus, train, streetcar, or light rail vehicle and enjoy the ride. There’s no need to tap your PRESTO card, debit, credit, or mobile payment, and cash isn’t needed either.
Subway service will run later than usual, but please note: the last trains on each line mostly depart before 3 a.m. For example:
- Line 1 Yonge-University: Last northbound train from Union Station leaves at 2:31 a.m. toward Finch, and at 2:27 a.m. toward Vaughan Metropolitan Centre.
- Line 2 Bloor-Danforth: Last eastbound train from Kipling departs at 2:15 a.m.; last westbound train from Kennedy leaves at 2:18 a.m.
- Line 4 Sheppard: Last train departs just after 3 a.m.
- Please note: If you are travelling to Union Station after 12 a.m., you will only be able to enter the station through the doors on Bay Street, just south of Front Street. This will take your through the Brookfield Place entrance.
Check the full schedule below for details on your route. After subway service ends, Blue Night Network buses and streetcars will keep you moving all night. Nearly all Torontonians, about 97 per cent, live within a short 15-minute walk of a Blue Night route. There are many ways you can get around, so leave your car at home and take the TTC! We’ve got you covered.
