Even just doing this on a Friday and Saturday night would make a huge difference but yes, the taxi companies would be in uproar. The main reason the trains dont run all night is to give business to companies who profit from them not running all night. It's daft that in a capital like Tokyo, unlike London, that there isnt at least some public transport [not taxis] available after 1am. London has its night buses. Tokyo has nothing except cabs. It's never made any sense to me but it makes perfect sense for those who profit from it and the politicians who are patronised by them.
