A little note - Saturdays are a day to consider too!
If marketing is done on weekday mornings from, let's say, 9am until noon - the majority of the people who you want to attract to buses (workers/commuters - in short, fare paying passengers) are missing out on all of the promotion.
Those who aren't fare paying passengers start to rise from the dead at half 9, and you certainly don't want them being the people who you're spending all of the marketing budget on!
The way I look at it is - if the people promoting are at work, then a lot of others will be too.

While this does sound nice and flashy, are all ten "Sapphire" branded vehicles really needed at the launch?
Don't get me wrong, it will attract attention and all... But if you're not appealing to the service's custom?
Unless it's going to be so flashy it manages to get on the news...
