It would only take hiring 4 drivers and maybe 4-8 security guards and a tech for a whopping total of 45-65 manhours/night. Call it 2-4 FTE positions per year. How are we not doing this in a city where you can spend hours waiting for a cab?

Would make maintenance a lot more difficult. Really a night bus network is more suitable, not many cities offer 24/7 rail service even if they do have great night bus networks.
