To delete a Bus stop:

Select the road building tool and select bus stop. Move the mouse slowly
over where the bus stop is, for one pixel it will change (when the arrow is
over the bus stop) and the text changes to 'Right click to remove'. Very
tricky to start with, but you soon get to learn where you need to click.
however, if there are tall buildings in the area, it is next to impossible!

For renewing buses, trucks and trams:

select the vehicle and locate it on the map. Stop the vehicle. Drag the
vehicle to the trash can (as you would a train carriage). Click the
replacement vehicle from the list of buses. Place the new bus on the road.
Doing it this way it keeps the route information. Only slightly quicker,
but less prone to error.
