Agreed, but for inner city commuters a Night Bus isn't really a viable
option with a $5 flat fare.

Over the last five or so  years when I've lived in Richmond, Fitzroy
and Parkville I've caught a night bus ONCE due to the cost.

On the other hand tthe Night Trams were wonderful! A regular fare
means that it's a reasonable cost and there's greater usage in the
inner city.
