I just posted a picture of pubic transportation. And I have used them before to cross 2 states.

You posted a picture of a greyhound bus. Greyhound is a private for-profit company.

Public transportation is typically understood to be not-for-profit services like local bus and rail lines owned and operated by governments. Maybe you've been operating under a different definition.

Public transportation (also known as public transit, mass transit, and mass transportation) is
defined in federal law (49 U.S.C. 5302) as regular, continuing shared-ride surface
transportation services that are open to the general public or open to a segment of the general
public defined by age, disability, or low income; and does not include(i) intercity passenger
rail transportation ; (ii) intercity bus service; (iii) charter bus service; (iv) school bus service;
(v) sightseeing service; (vi) courtesy shuttle service for patrons of one or more specific
establishments; or (vii) intra-terminal or intra-facility shuttle services.

Regardless, the number of passengers/trips from within-city transit buses (which nearly universally do have separate doors for front entry and rear exit) would dwarf the number of inter-city trips provided by companies like greyhound. I really doubt you saying you've never seen this kind of bus with a separate exit unless you've never visited an even remotely populated city.
