Night Buses * Canada - Busy as partiers shift to transit

Aldergrove,BC,Canada -BC Local News, by Jeff Nagel -October 6, 2010: -- TransLink is adding more late-night buses to meet demand from revellers who increasingly want to take transit rather than drive home after drinking...   B.C.'s tough new drunk driving penalties – stiffer fines, impoundments and licence suspensions kicked in Sept. 20 – are the apparent reason for the behaviour shift, Coast Mountain Bus Co. officials say...   NightBuses run out of downtown after SkyTrain stops running, mirroring the rapid transit system and some other high-traffic corridors...  Several NightBus routes switched in late September from standard buses to longer higher-capacity articulated buses that take about 110 passengers...   Friday and Saturday nights have been particularly busy, Zabel said, with standing room only on many buses...   NightBuses cover more ground than the three SkyTrain lines, they argue, and road congestion rarely causes slowdowns that late at night...   The last SkyTrains leave downtown Vancouver around 1:15 a.m, well before most bars close...
