Once again for the people at the back. The purpose of public transport is to transport the public. Making money from doing so is a secondary purpose at best.
Noone talks about the profitability of the motorway network. So why do we do the same for public transport?
@quixoticgeek @sinabhfuil Good point. Here in Melbourne the public transport now runs 24 hours over Friday and Saturday nights. Costs a fair bit, but there's a huge social benefit – including casual workers getting to and from their jobs safely.

@timrichards @sinabhfuil yep. Public transport should run 24/7. It makes the economy flow.
