Still an absolutely excellent idea though, I'm sure that students will feel safer and crime will be reduced during unsociable hours.

The regular bus service ends at 6pm (yes, this is Small Town, Baden-Wurttemberg) and the Anrufsammeltaxi picks you up at the train station and takes you to any street corner alongside the regular bus route. Well, of course we have to pay an additional transportation fee (as the service is not included in the price for my monthly ticket) but compared to the one-way price of a taxi (about 9 Euros), the price of 1 Euro per work day is a bargain ;-) This reminds me of the Anrufsammeltaxi service in Biberach.
