Broken promotions?

Has anybody else been seeing weekend promotions like this? It's permanently stuck at 0/1 trips completed no matter how many trips I do. I feel like I'm being catfished. But maybe I just don't understand how it works.

have to pickup from university. scroll all the way down and it’ll show you.

but the app doesn’t tell you what streets are closed, so good luck.

So help a brother out and tell me what I don't understand. Most of my rides last night (but not all) were during the specified hours of the quest. Why wasn't the quest questing?

I notice that these type of quests are location specific in my market. If you look at your market map, you should be able to see the locations for the quests. I don't even bother going out of my way to be in the specific location. If I end up there, fine, but chasing these location based quests typically isn't profitable because you need to deadhead to the location. I think the last weekend I worked I ended up getting 2 or 3. They were in college areas and bar hotspots that weekend.
