night buses
After-hours public transport
Night buses are public transit buses that operate during late-night and early-morning hours when regular daytime service has ended.
They typically run less frequently and may follow different routes than their daytime counterparts: We caught the night bus home after the concert.
In cities with extensive public transit, night buses provide essential transportation for shift workers, late-night revelers, and others who need to travel when subways or trains aren't running.
