With peak-only service, you're a slave to a transit schedule, and people understandably don't like that. The feeling that a rider has no flexibility (even if he would rarely avail himself of that flexibility) is a big disincentive to transit use. This is true even if there is other services at other times that might serve you, since it means learning the schedule of a different service which you don't actually use.
Peak-only service makes good sense in some situations, and it might be called for somewhere in the Region, but it has big drawbacks. It's also more expensive to provide, so it means less service generally.
