The bus: why not a little all-night service on some of the peak days (read: nights)? People would be buying tickets. Maybe put a transit cop on the community shuttle just in case. Gotta be cheaper than deploying cops and fire trucks to accident scenes.

The transit service has enough trouble finding drivers for the current hours, plus there would be a cost involved in extending hours.

There was an article in the paper last week where Cab drivers don't want to drive at night anymore because of the possibility of violence and dealing with drunks. I'm all for extending licenses, or forcing passengers to pay a premium to the drivers after 11:00. But the fault lies with the city and the taxi commission.
