PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Planning your New Year's Eve just got easier. PATCO is offering free train rides from South Jersey to Philadelphia -- and back -- on the holiday.
The free rides are thanks to an advertising sponsorship with Heinenken.
"The free rides are aimed at offering a responsible, convenient travel option for those who want to enjoy New Year's Eve festivities without the worry and hassle of driving," PATCO said.
The offer begins at 8 p.m. on Dec. 31 and runs through 4 a.m. on Jan. 1. During those hours, entry gates will be open for free passage.
