How in the name of hell do you remove bus passenger stops without demolishing the city?

Enter bus stop build mode... Then search for that one pixel on the bus stop that will let you demolish it (it'll indicate that you can remove the station on the bottom). Then, you can right click and demolish it. The same procedure can be used to remove train signals. It's a little tricky, but once you do it once or twice, you'll figure it out! Matthew

Then (assuming success) immediately you're back in placement mode so the signal/bus stop appears in 'ghost' again. Have you removed the object ? . . . you move the mouse to be sure. Yes you have, but feedback was not intuitive. -- Mark

Aha... lol... that's really silly. Looks like I have the most success by clicking the top of the little red signs. Thanks Matthew!

Incidentely, I can't figure out how to do it in a big city with lots of tall buildings without destroying the buildings around it. Frequently the buildings are too high to even see the station. If you use the "hide buildings" view and right click where you're supposed to, you end up blowing up the building. It's rather ridiculous actually... I should only be able to blow up buildings if I'm in "clear land" mode. It's just one of the many things which Locomotion could have been a lot better on...

Its really quite ridiculous that in hide buildings mode you can still destroy buildings/trees when trying to pick up construction or demolish something. Then when you get these massive cities its time for subway, but godamn you don't want to have to edit that!
