What's the use of the public buses?

I had an adventure with my kids today. Our car broke down and there was only the public buses to depend on to take us to Church. We had to take one way up to Karamunsing and then another bus to Bukit Padang. It was the same to go home, being Karamunsing is the connecting spot. But amazingly you get a lot of Penampang buses that would not stop at the bus stop we were waiting at. This is when we were on our way home. What is the point? I also realised that these buses have destinations of villages written on their body, which I believe is also their actual permit. Yet you don't see them commuting to these places. So, whice party is the culprit here, the authority who issued them the permit or the buses themselves that don't honor their permit?
I then realised that the buses that did not stop were loitering at the bus stop of Sacred Heart to lobby for passengers who've just finished Mass. So typically greedy when they know we are also passengers. When can this be right?
