In significant part because a public transport operator is expected to produce a TIMETABLE, for all sorts of reasons (like people meeting you at the airport), showing what services they are providing. For goodness sake, Thomson used to manage this on a printed page in their holiday brochures in the 1970s - nowadays it should be a piece of cake to show this electronically.

It's organisations where the operations side has been trumped by the sales people, who think the only reason for the whole website is to sell. It's bad enough when the schedule detail shown is a hack of the booking system, worse when anything not sold is not shown. Sometimes I have to advise people to resort to FlightRadar24 to get their departure and arrival details.
