I totally agree with this.
Being a clubber myself, I find it a real problem to get home most nights.
Taxis are just not an option for a student, $35 just to get home is a huge
waste of money!
Thursday nights are the worst for transport, that is the biggest
University populated night.  I go to many different clubs on Thursdays
- It usually ends up with someone being the designated driver.
As I work on most Friday and Saturday nights, I like to "chill out" at a
club before going home.  The problem being lack of transport -
Nightrider's are only every hour!  Even if I work late & don't go out, I
still find myself waiting around for a Nightrider. It wouldn't hurt for
Weekend trains to be extended until 0100 or 0200am.
The very least that could be done is Nightriders on Thursdays,
*all* services picking up at Metro, Chevron, Casino, etc....

====================

Ya big wuss - just keep partying until the first trains start - then you can
do three or four laps from the city to terminus until you eventually wake up
(and get a few hours sleep as well!) The number of times I have ended up in
Lithgow when travelling to Penrith is too numerous to count!
