I got the impression it only ran at night, too. Partly
from the name and partly form the fact that there are
beds in it instead of seats. (Although I suppose the
beds could magically turn into seats for daytime???)

I get the impression the "knight" spelling was a play
on words: the bus runs at night, combined with the
"knight in shining armour" idea. (The bus comes to
Harry's rescue just in time.) 

Along these lines, there was a recent discussion about
the Hogwart's Express, and it was brought up that
Hagrid took the Night Bus with Buckbeak and not the
train. Perhaps Hagrid had to be in London early in the
morning (don't remember off the top of my head if
there's a time of day given for the trial) so he took
the Knight Bus because it runs overnight, and by
extention the HE runs during the day...
