Public transit stops at midnight where I live. Won’t work for someone out at 2am.

    Last time we did the smart thing and we stayed till first train in the morning. Was also cheaper to drink till dawn and eat shit in McDonald's than take taxi home 🤣

    In the U.S. there are only two places that serve alcohol 24/7 (New York and Las Vegas). Pretty much everywhere else stops serving at 2am

    Big difference between serving alcohol and selling alcohol. When I was doing 3rd shift, we'd get out at 5AM, head straight for the gas station, and pour tallboys into paper cups and drink in front of the store.

    First bus home came by at 6:30. I was usually pretty buzzed by then.

    Sounds like a you problem. I dont live in a place where they run 24/7 but they run long enough at night on holidays. Also, if you are partying until 2am don't be a weak sauce, party until 6 and then next day transit starts.

    I have a somewhat vivid memory of sprinting through NY Penn Station around midnight to get the last train home, back before I lived in the city. Was a deciding factor in me moving. Had to leave my friend's Halloween party at like 10 to get the last train.

    Yeah, the issue there is that public transport wasn't extended for Halloween. Here on holidays public transport either has an extended timetable or we get a separate night bus routes that start at the city centre (around 200k "city") and send you to anywhere in the city. Those run until 6am when normal bus service starts so you get 24h service. For people from nearby towns they have their own bus/train service which in holidays runs 24h too.

    I understand being fucked in a random weekend, but on holidays? That's fucked up man.

    Edit: just to be clear here anything over 30m is kinda fucked too, but that's like a different province already so people from that far tend to have a plan. In any case if you were on a big city like Barcelona or Madrid where 30m you are still in the city, this wouldn't be an issue ofc.
