I bet they could severly cut down on drunk driving incidents in the DC
metro area by keeping the metro open till 3 AM on Friday & Saturday.  Sure
it would cost a little money to keep it open an extra 6 hours a week (not
THAT much, running every 1/2 hour from 12 to 3) but I think the benefits
to society would far outweight the costs.

I've never understood what use it is to have the safest public transportation
service in the world is if they don't even operate during the hours that it
is most UNsafe to be on the streets.
