From WMATA:
“On New Year’s Eve, fares will be free after 8 p.m. thanks to a partnership with Miller Light and Coors Light’s Free Rides Program, which will help revelers get home safely and responsibly. Faregates will be open from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. and no SmarTrip card will be needed. Bus customers will not need to tap between those hours either.
Metrorail will also stay open until 2 a.m. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if anyone knows the date for the new WMATA buses? The announcement is clear as mud. It says changes start on Dec 15, but I have seen my old bus route (N2) running when I know it will be renamed and have the route changed.

I’m told:
“The new service will start June 29, 2025.
Updated schedules and trip planner will be released in spring.“
