Peterborough Transit Drivers Kept More Than 3,000 Customers Safe On Roads On New Year’s Eve

Peterborough Transit drivers kept over 3,000 customers safe on the road this New Year’s Eve, as free transit was provided for a fifth consecutive year thanks to the sponsorship of Wolfe Lawyers.

"Peterborough Transit is a safe, reliable way to get to where you’re going and then back home, which is why it’s such a great service on New Year’s Eve,” says Councillor Don Vassiliadis, Co-chair of Transportation. “I would like to thank the transit drivers, staff and transit riders for helping to make the transit service so successful.”

“It’s exciting to see people out enjoying the city on New Year’s Eve, knowing that they don’t have to worry about arranging for a ride thanks to the free transit service,” adds Councillor Kemi Akapo, Co-chair of Transportation. “We appreciate the ongoing sponsorship from Wolfe Lawyers to make it possible.”

Peterborough Downtown Business Improvement Area and its member businesses partnered with the City this year to help promote the service, increasing awareness of the transit option for residents on New Year’s Eve.
