Reply to comment by _hephaestus in ‘A 24-hour neighborhood’: Wu outlines plans to bring downtown Boston back to life - The Boston Globe by TouchDownBurrito

Reminds me of a comment I read from another thread where someone said that Boston's nightlife suffers because the lack of adequate transportation to and from especially after midnight.

People either: A.Go out to events and have fun for a bit, but leave early so they can catch a train home

B.Go out, and limit their drinking/don't drink so they can safely drive home after

C.Don't go out all

Or D) drive drunk and endanger the people around them.

Or I suppose pay expensive Ubers or live somewhere they can walk, but I imagine there's lots of instances of D.

The extra "going out" commercial travel is fine, but not as important as the tends of thousands of people who have to take an expensive Uber to work because their shift at the hospital/airport/etc. starts at 4 AM and nothing is running.
