Bus stop question

I have a question about how the busses work. In real life, busses stop in a city on almost every corner, but they also don't take up an entire lot. In order to get my bus system to work properly, must I post a stop on every corner?

First post ever here, btw...hopefully the first of many!

You don't have to put bus stops on every corner, on average they should be about 15 tiles away from each other (it depends on the density and other mass transit in the area). There is something called RTMT (road top mass transit) mod that sits you bus stops subway stations and the such on the sidewalk of streets, roads avenues.

    The RTMT is a good thing to have, I use it myself. But in order for you to really get a good effective bus network, you probably need to plop one every two or three blocks. Buses are, IMO, a very useful and affordable mass transit network.

    If you use a 4x4 grid (like me), 1 bus and/or subway stop every other intersection should be plenty (assuming you're using the RTMT lots.)  You may want to put stops at every intersection once that area upgrades to skyscrapers.
