Or rather, Miller Lite Free Rides® but same thing right?
From a press release:
“The Original Light Beer is partnering with Metro and Premium Distributors to help residents and visitors ring in the New Year safely. Miller Lite Free Rides® will be available on all Metrorail and Metrobus routes beginning at midnight on January 1, with free service until close at 3 a.m.
“We’re committed to making sure everyone in the D.C. area can enjoy our products responsibly year round,” said Diane Wagner, Alcohol Responsibility Manager, MillerCoors. “Through our partnerships with Metro, Premium Distributors and the nonprofit Washington Regional Alcohol Program (WRAP), we’re working to keep local roadways safe while raising awareness that drunk driving is completely preventable.”
Free Rides will be available on all Metrorail lines and Metrobus routes from midnight until the Metro system closes at 3 a.m. On the rail system, customers should use their SmarTrip card to enter and exit the system and will not be charged for the trip. On Metrobus, riders can simply show their SmarTrip card to board at no charge. For specific route and schedule information, visit WMATA.com.
“We’re excited to partner with Miller Lite once again in offering safe rides to local residents on New Year’s Eve,” said Paul J. Wiedefeld, General Manager/CEO, Metro. “We want to remind the community to ring in the New Year safely and take advantage of Miller Lite Free Rides.”
MillerCoors is also offering free taxi rides on New Year’s Eve through its partnership with WRAP and its SoberRide program. Free cab rides (up to $ 30 and which have been offered each evening this month since December 16) will be offered from 10:00 p.m. on December 31, 2016 to 6:00 a.m. on January 1, 2017 up to a $30 fare.

Last year, Miller Lite provided more than 29,000 people in the D.C. region with safe, alternative transportation on New Year’s Eve.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
