There will be no free transit service on New Year’s Eve in Peterborough this year.
For the past five years, Wolfe Personal Injury Lawyers has partnered with the City of Peterborough to offer free transit service on New Year’s Eve. However, because of the pandemic, the free service won’t go ahead this year.
“Peterborough Transit will not be offering free service this New Year’s Eve as we want to reinforce the public health measures to discourage non-essential travel and large gatherings during the holiday season,” says Peterborough Transit manager Laurie Stratton.
“While we have put in measures to protect the health and safety of customers and employees, physical distancing remains a challenge on public transit,” Stratton says.
In addition, there will be no extended New Year’s Eve service this year. Previously, buses ran until 3:20 a.m. on New Year’s Day. This year, service on all routes will end by 7 p.m. on New Year’s Eve.
There will be no transit service on Christmas Day or New Year’s Day. For more information on Peterborough Transit’s holiday service, visit peterborough.ca/en/news/peterborough-transit-holiday-service.aspx.
