Miller Lite to provide free DART rides New Year's Eve

Miller Lite and Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) have teamed up for the third year to provide a safe travel option to driving on New Year's Eve with free rides on all buses, light rail trains, paratransit vehicles and the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) from Union Station to CentrePort/DFW Airport Station.
