Discussions will be held on how to try and provide further late-night public transport options following the popularity of the Translink Nightmovers scheme over the Christmas period.
He added that it needed to be an effort made on multiple fronts to get something sustainable for the long term."If you talk to the Free the Night people, for example, there are licensing laws, there's protecting venues and creative hubs, creating safe and inclusive spaces so people feel safe when they're out in the evening too.
"We will then have to decide what the funding route is for that - some of the routes will be popular enough that you might have to do a late-night fare and that might be viable on its own."At the minute we are mostly funded through the Department for Infrastructure but I would have to say funding is extremely difficult at the moment."
"I know some bars have taken advantage of the relaxation in licensing laws that came into effect a while ago, but I'm not sure if it's having any effect on people staying out.
