Go spend some time on r/onebag. Every day there is a post by someone who is taking 3 months or 6 months to travel a few different countries. Usually younger people, but includes people who are taking a long break from work.
Or to put it another way. There were only a handful of such buses running simultaneously. So there were only a few hundred passengers per year. Is it hard to imagine that in the 3ish Billion people that live on that route today, you couldn't find 500 people who can take a few months off to do an epic journey through 20 countries?
