I believe that each individual bus station can only reliably handle a certain number of buses. Each has 2 spaces, so if you say tried to run a service to another station with 2 buses, you'll be fine as there can never be more than 2 buses in one station. If you try it with 4 buses again you should generally be OK as they probably won't all be bunched up together. Any more than this though and if lots of buses converge on one station at once, you get clogged up as both parking spaces are filled, and extra vehicles are getting to the entrance, turning around, and coming back, and meeting another one coming in. If a third turns up, then you will notice they probably all jam up! I found this out to my cost when I first got TT as I tried to play close to real life with one central bus station in a town providing services to lots of suburban stations, but you really have to play like the AI does and just run lots of point to point services, with a maximum of about 4 buses serving every station. If you do try and run lots of buses to one station, provide lots of turning loops nearby so they can drive around and this reduces the chances of getting clogged up.
