If you have a savegame from just before the tile is removed, I can try to 
figure out what happens.  Afterwards, it's most likely impossible.

You can get rid of the bus with the "Cht: DeleteVeh" sign cheat.

This should be possible to fix with "Cht: ClearGhosts".

I haven't yet had any other bug reports of this random tile destruction 
happening, so if you could supply a savegame+configs from just before I 
would appreciate it.
