Strong disagree. If anything transit should be 24/7 stopping transit at midnight only increases drunk driving incidents.
I agree, except that I think that shouldn't be put in place until there is better security on buses. There are cities where the drivers have reinforced plexiglass and such to protect them. We should do that. And probably more, but I'm not an expert on the subject.
I don't know why time of day matters. And that's all to see lve symptoms not the cause. Like why did someone decide to stab a driver here? This could have happened at 3pm. We live around other people and harm reduction is how we minimize this stuff. It's also important to note it's been over 20 years since this happened before. So it's not a frequent problem, though tragic for the man that died.
