Why is that the this is always presented as a balance between:

People out on the town late on Friday/Saturday night

vs.

People who start work early on Saturday/Sunday morning

What about the large number of people who finish work between 12:30am
and 1:30am? Most restaurant workers, many workers in
theatres/cinemas/bars? Why do they never come in to the equation?


This is a very good point - these are workers too after all, probably just
as badly paid and with options that are just as limited as the people who
make the journey to work first thing in the morning.

If the number of workers is about the same, surely the side-effect of
ferrying the hordes of revellers home efficiently is an argument in favour
of later running?
