Almost all bus stops have no night bus.

I don't think you've looked at the network recently

"almost all" is most certainly wrong

I think you'd have a problem justifying a "more than half" claim

There are 19825 London bus stops, of which 7852 (39.6%) are served
by at least one night bus.


Are you including the 24-hour buses as night buses?


Yes, all buses that run at night, whether they have an N in their name
or not.
