    Why would they only offer this promo on the weekend? There are fewer buses/routes that operate on weekends and they are less frequent. If your goal is to entice someone to commute by bus/train, surely you would give them a sample of the service they would actually be using.

    If you want to show people that the service may not accommodare them, by all means invite them to try it when it’s at its least useful.
