Because 역 is only used for trains and subways and 정류장 is used for buses, cars, and taxis.

A different word is used for different types of vehicles. Even though we use the same word (stop, station, etc) for both in English, if you think about it, a train stop or subway is quite different than a bus stop, so having different words for each does make sense to me.
