How late do the buses run where you are?

How late do the buses run where you are?
Around here it about 7 or 8 o'clock on week days and about 4 or 5 o'clock on weekends.
I have had conversations about this not being late enough several times. If your poor you can't go see movies in the evening or go to the mall in the evenings because the buses don't run late enough and think about the problems it must cause for the under paid work force
I bet buses in other cities run later.
They are subsidized by the government and they do get a lot of money from the lottery. They should run later

I live right near Chicago, so there are two bus services, the CTA (Chicago transit Authority) and the suburban Pace Bus Service, which runs into Chicago on some routes, as well as having the EL trains in the city.
In the city the buses run late, some even have what they call 'Night Owl' service, which runs pretty late into the morning.

However, I am like a fifteen minute bus ride from the city itself, and even farther from the trains and the areas where the public transportation runs the way I just described.
This means using the Pace system, which usually only has a bus running every hour or so and also runs in the manner you are describing about your local service.

Our local bus runs from about 7am to 5:30 pm.

Overall, I'd say that I'd defiantly not want to live over here without a car.

So they run about the same everywhere.
I remember years ago they use to run real late. I think they ran up until like 11 or 12 at night.
With all of the problems they should be running later

I suspect that their budget restricts their evening runs. There might be evening buses somewhere, but I doubt that there are many.
