Because right now, this class of service is broken up in ad-hoc service companies, none of which have been incentivized to become a regional rental pool.

Consolidate taxi/minibus/event bus/medical&elderly ride/mass transit into a pool of vehicles available 24/7 with resources for surge times/maintenance/cleaning etc, and this will become the norm easily enough.

Then it's just a question of who operates and at what cost?

Various towns have looked into this sort of thing. [1] It doesn't seem to be very common however.
