Travel Mid-Week
Pictograms of buses show a few waiting people on Monday, Tuesday to Thursday and Friday, and packed queues on Saturday and Sunday, under 'Travel mid-week for comfort, to save petrol, to reduce congestion'. The tell for card-stacking is the unscaled pictogram and a list of benefits with no costs; the request itself is plain.
