Concert halls and arenas along the route have more than 200 events per year. So there’s little doubt the streetcar will be full of bar-hopping hipsters and fans of Detroit’s four sports teams.

not if it stops at midnight, it won't.

it would have to run until at least 1:00, and ideally 3:00. but, then, it had might as well always run.

it's the same issue that they have with the tunnel bus. the last bus is at 1:00, which just doesn't make any sense. either you're out late or you're not. so, the people that take the bus take the 11:00 or the 12:00 bus, and the people that stay late come back in the morning. i'm almost always the only person on the thing, but it's only because i so routinely walk distances that people can't fathom. if i cabbed, i'd take the 11:00 or 12:00 bus, when i do.

i mean, i'm glad the 1:00 bus is there, sure. but, given that i'm usually the only person on it, it must run empty most nights. it doesn't actually make sense. what would make sense would be to stop early, or run late. given that the bars close at 2:00, there should be a 2:30 bus - and if there was one, i assure you it would have more demand than the 1:00 bus.

i don't know if this is really what they want this thing to be. but, if it is what they want it to be, they're going to need to extend the hours of it to fit the demand for it.
