They didn't forget the kids or the bus riders lol. Short trips are harder on engines than long drives.
Miles on the highway let engines fully warm up, burn off moisture, and reduce wear, which you don't get when you're just stop-and-go. So for each bus, typically they hop on the highway about once a week or so, all to extend the life of the engines!
Bonus: ever been to to Central America, such as a place like Guatemala? Some busses from North America gets sold down south, where they then convert them into these crazy awesome designs. They're affectionately called "chicken busses" because how many people they squeeze onto them (definitely not what you will ever see in North America lol).
