It is lucrative enough. It was just financial tomfoolery by the board that caused them to have revenue issues.

We shouldn't have 24/7 service tho, or it should be limited. One of the failings of the subway is it hard to do maintenance because all the tracks are always in use. System would run better if they could do maintenance from 2am-6am.
