On Saturday night a lot of people are still active at midnight. Some people are still active all night long, but 2am seems like a comparatively quiet time to avoid disrupting schedules like bus and subway schedules.
2am is when most people are not working or are asleep, so the change doesn't affect what they are doing; late-night jobs finish at midnight or 1am, and early-morning shifts begin after 2am. There are many slight benefits to a 2am changeover, such as closing times for drinking establishments, and 2am is just the best time to do it for all involved.
Daylight savings time begins and ends at two in the morning because that is the time that was deemed the most convenient for this switch. It allows people for the most part to be able to switch their clocks ahead or back before going to bed and doesn't upset peoples days.
That was believed to be the middle of the period when most people were asleep.

We change the clocks at 2 am to adviod any confusions about the date. The bars close at 1:59 am so it prevents the bars from being open an extra hour.
That's to reduce the likelihood of people being awake and working at the time of the change.
