I realize that there are people who work odd hours, but maybe it's a little dangerous to be running the buses at 3:00 a.m.

Like closing down the 12th/Jackson bus stops the day before, do we surrender, or do we have a society?

That one didn't make any sense to me. Yes, there is a lot of criminal activity in that vicinity, but it hasn't spilled into the buses and the streetcar. Why does that need to be closed down 24 hours a day now? It would be better for safety to not run buses as late as they do.

Do we surrender nightly at 10:30 PM, or do we have a society?

Midnight seems pretty reasonable.
