Just a guess, but I imagine that bus schedules also have to be worked around driver schedules. Ideally, you d want to have only as many drivers as you need, and demand might be much higher elsewhere so it would make sense to book those drivers to run in places where the demand is much greater.
In addition, a transit company might not want to run buses for a given route if they think the demand is going to be low for a given day/time as they won t really recoup their costs to run buses if they think that theyll only have 2 or 3 passengers.
Efficiency and economy . . . . . and just to confound you by not running when you want them.
