No, it shouldn't, and I take it by this statement you don't live in NYC. I do, and have lived in Tokyo and other cities with excellent mass transit. While Tokyo's system is much, much better, it's pretty fantastic that I know I can always get a train home no matter what time it is, no matter where in the city I am, much faster than any ground vehicle would take me.
- TillE 9y agoEverywhere else just runs replacement buses at night and it's fine. Yeah ok it's a little slower, but it means you're not running a huge train for five people.
- Symbiote 9y agoMany larger cities in Europe run the metro continually from Friday until Sunday night. This is a decent compromise.
- wan23 9y agoThere are way more than five people per train at any time of the day or night. Besides all the people with night and early-morning jobs, there's also the fact that bars are open until 4 AM. They call New York "The City That Never Sleeps" for a reason.
