Most buses would run during the day, when most residents would not be there. At night, you would assume the bus service would be less frequent, so less disturbing to residents, who would be in by then.
If the commercial was at the front near the buses, you could imagine high-paying commercial tenants (who would be in their offices all day when the buses were most frequent) complaining about all the noise and pollution from the buses outside their windows. Could be enough for commercial tenants to stay clear.
