Midnight revelers will have a wider choice of public transport during the 2008 Olympic Games as Beijing is to launch special bus routes and add seven routes to the 24-hour bus network.

Thirty-four bus routes would be arranged to relieve possible transport pressure around venues and tourist sites during the Games, said Liu Xiaoming, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission, on Thursday.

The article says there are currently 12 all-night bus routes, but the buses I take seem to stop running at 9 or 10. It’s not hard to catch a taxi home when the buses have stopped, but then again, I’m not competing with thousands of other Olympics visitors for that taxi.
