Well, missing a bus is a nightmare and nobody would want that to happen. As far as I know, If the seats are available in the next bus and if the reason of you missing the bus is valid, they might allow you to board the next bus else you will have to purchase the new ticket for the next one.
Often time, they will let you jump on a bus with the same departure and arrival point, if you arrive the same day.
