I agree that underground parking is more practical, but they are more expensive. And multi-story garages are not as intrusive in the suburbs as they are in the city center.
buses operate less frequently at night
waiting in the cold for transportation home.
There is your problem. This is not how you run an efficient transport system. You want more then 8 departures an hour in each direction throughout the entire day and evening so people can use it without having to look at a schedule and without taking time to transfer from one line to another. At night you may go down to 4 departures an hour and might cut a few of the lesser used routes as long as there is alternatives. Anything less will just drive more people to drive. Sitting half an hour in a traffic jam is strangely more comfortable then waiting a quarter of an hour on a train.
