Reply #60: uh, i've been up partying those hours before in SF, in my early 20, and now 30s

there are parties and nightclubs multiple blocks away, but they are there. the problem is a lot of clubs shut down at 2 AM while BART closes down at 12-1 AM. there is a night bus that goes to downtown Oakland every hour on the hour til 6 AM, but not everyone knows about it, and it has only been started in the past 3-5 years. however i, and many of my friends, have missed BART in the wee hours while partying on a weekday and had to park it for the night napping nearby. thank goodness for the new bus service, though.

if your city doesn't have it, understandable. but SF, while not like NYC, does have a vibrant nightlife. it is completely understandable to go to a show or nightclub on a weekday (especially at 22 yrs of age, you think you're invincible then) and then mess up the math on the return trip schedule.
