RedEye Chicago, 12/16:
Free CTA rides for New Year's Eve
CTA riders can take any CTA bus or train for free again this New Year's Eve.
The free rides last from 10 p.m. Dec. 31 to 4 a.m. Jan. 1. The CTA has long offered a penny fare program on New Year's Eve; MillerCoors took over sponsorship of the program in 2012 in a three-year, $1.3 million deal that promotes the Miller Lite brand.
As part of the agreement, MillerCoors pays the one-cent "penny" fare for each rider and CTA operating costs during promotion hours.
