Hi,

What Stephen said :) Also, I realise that once your towns start getting
bigger, your bus stations tend to get a ridiculous amount of passengers.
Things like 1500 passengers waiting are not uncommon. I have also found that
although this should really annoy the populace, it doesn't seem to bother
them at all. As long as the buses are constant, they are quite happy. I
remember when I first started playing, I would look through my stations and
see thousands of passengers waiting at a bus stop and send buses to it like
a mad thing... Until they clogged up of course :)

Another tip, If you want to run further buses, space them out if they have
to travel any distance. If you want to run 6 buses between two stops, build
them all and give them their orders, then send the first one. wait until it
is far enough away so that when the first bus is leaving the second one
should be close but not quite arriving and then keep doing this until you've
got all of your buses moving. The trouble with this method is, that if you
don't keep your eye on them, they can still bunch up, so I don't usually
bother.

HTH.. and made sense... hmm? :)
