My college town has a private bus service aimed at drinkers that has been running for twenty years now, shuttling people between the student neighborhood and the bars on Thursday-Saturday evenings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill%27s_Bus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill%27s_Bus The interesting part is that it's not even a good business - after about ten years, the founder ran out of money and then sold the business to the owner of one of those bars. I'd speculate that the bar business slightly subsidizes the bus service, run as something of a service to the community (reducing drunk driving).
