The number of runs of scheduled buses

Are my sentences correct?

-The bus is running almost every day, including Saturday and Sunday; simply that on Sunday the number of runs of scheduled buses is less.
-[...] simply that buses are less easily found on Sunday.
-[...] simply that the number of bus services is fewer.

" The "almost" is strange in contrast to Saturday and Sunday. If it doesn't run every day, which day is left out? " There must be something missing, like a question about not being able to find a bus on Sunday.

I don't understand "simply." There must be something missing, like a question about not being able to find a bus on Sunday.

Not quite.

The bus runs every day, including Saturdays and Sundays; it's just that fewer runs are scheduled on Sundays.
