No fare will be charged on Christmas Eve from 9 p.m to 2 a.m. and from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. on New Year’s Eve.

The gates at all Metro rail stations will be unlatched during this time, but riders must use their TAP cards after after 2 a.m.

In addition, 24-hour rail service is available on New Year’s Eve. Enhanced service will be available for the Rams game against the San Francisco 49ers that day.

Both buses and rail systems will run on a Sunday/holiday schedule on Christmas Day and News Year’s Day, officials explained.
