Miller Lite Free Rides is a program that has offered free New Year’s Eve rides on local transit in various cities since 1988. Last year more than 170,000 people took advantage of the free rides on New Year’s Eve across the country.
Charlotte is one of those cities, for the first time, on New Year’s Eve, 2023.
All routes of Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) will be fare-free on Sunday, December 31, 2023, from 5 a.m., until January 1, 2024, at 2 a.m. The free rides are on all buses and the light rail.

If you’re planning to go to NYE CLT, and you aren’t familiar with the light rail, the best stops would be:
- CTC Station
- 3rd Street Station
- Brooklyn Village Station
However you travel to festivities on New Year’s Eve, please choose responsible options.
