Yes, those strollers are an annoyance. You go to Wal*Mart or Toys R Us and that's what they'll sell you - a big Graco stroller that collapses only vertically (so it still has the same footprint when collapsed) has cup-holders and docks with the included carseat bucket.

You go to a shop like Springy's and they'll sell you something that won't take up your entire trunk when collapsed and will get your kids around far better than the over-sized pieces of plastic people buy from the box stores.

The best strollers for bus travel are large umbrella strollers that collapse very small (my Peg Perego Si has seen the streets of Toronto, Manhattan, and Buenos Aires)... but most umbrella strollers don't recline and restrain well enough for newborns, so people always need to own a larger stroller. And larger strollers generally don't collapse as well. Smaller, cheap umbrella strollers are notoriously annoying to push.

We have a lot of strollers, obviously, because it turns out there's no silver-bullet. So no surprise that some folks end up sticking with the nasty SUV stroller that they bought as a bundle with their bucket-seat.
