Does nobody take transit because it doesn't run late enough? Or does transit not run very late because nobody takes it?
To add to your question:

Why doesn't Calgary follow other cities and have all night public transport on probably the biggest drinking night of the year (New Years Eve)?

e.g. London on New Years Eve. Tubes run all night and they're free.

At least try it for one year to measure the demand.
