I thought buses just stop at a station, you have to signal to the driver to stop? I’ve never ridden a bus before, so at least that’s my main reason, but if I got on and didn’t see a button or anything, I’d probably make that mistake 💀
There are some stops where the bus always stops, and others where you have to signal the driver to stop (known as request stops). You will typically find the first kind in high density areas like cities, and the other in suburbs or in the countryside (there are even “stop areas” in some very rural places, where the driver officially must stop anywhere along it when asked).
The same applies to trains too, although request stops are not as common as they are for buses (and I don’t know of any stop areas for trains)

In my city late night buses do this anyway, even in areas where the daytime route uses mostly request stops.
