MORE police on the beat and public transport throughout Sydney's Friday and Saturday night hot spots are initial steps in battling alcohol-related violence, the NSW Opposition says.
The call for action to tackle drunken violence on Sydney streets comes after Kieran Loveridge was sentenced for delivering the king hit that killed a teenager in Kings Cross.
Loveridge was sentenced to serve four years behind bars for Thomas Kelly's manslaughter in July 2012 - a sentence Mr Kelly's family labelled a joke.
The sentence has reignited debate over how the NSW Government can deal with alcohol-related violence on Sydney's streets.
Opposition leader John Robertson said everything should be on the table.
He said George St in the CBD and Kings Cross needed to be treated as "major events" on Friday and Saturday nights.
"The second thing you do is you put more police on the streets and the third thing you do is you increase public transport options to get young people out off those streets," he told reporters on Saturday.

'More than 100 dead in typhoon'
A CIVIL aviation official in the Philippines says he's received a report that more than 100 bodies are lying in the streets of a central city ravaged by Haiyan.
"Nothing should be ruled out and everything should be on the table because we just can't allow these sorts of tragedies to continue."
While sentencing of those behind alcohol-fuelled violence was important, the government needed to be proactive, Mr Robertson said.
He labelled Loveridge's sentence as "appalling".
NSW Attorney-General Greg Smith said on Friday he had asked the DPP to consider appealing the manslaughter sentence.
Earlier this month a Brazilian man died in hospital after he was punched in the head outside a bar in Haymarket.
