Intercity busses

[Weyird]

Whenever I build cities I love to get lots of tourists. Airports bring lots in, as does the space elevator. Passenger ships and trains are great though. But what about busses?

Isn't it possible to build bus terminals and designate it with "Allow inter-city busses" like train stations so that you can get tourists in small towns too?

No

But coaches would be cool. Probably something very easy for the devs to add at some point

In order to create "intercity" bus lines, you'll be needing 81 Tiles mod and Cross The Line mod.

Place a stub regular road at the very edge of a map, that is connected to an outside connection (such as highways), then set up your line from there, and goes through your city and done.

Thats not an inter-city bus, thats just a bus line that starts on the edge of the map

What's the difference? Intercity trains just spawn on the map edge as well. Plus if you look at the outside connections very closely, you can see people waiting on a platform for a train, so adding a bus stop at the map edge is the same.

The difference is OP is asking if buses from other towns, much like the non player planes/ trains/ ships that spawn, can be set up, so he can have intercity buses arriving at his bus terminal
The answer is no.
Your answer is very odd

Creating bus lines like that from the edge of the map woyld give the appearance of intercity lines, but it wouldnt give any tourists.

@Meesmoth You can disagree with my replies all you like but I am right
See above

@Weyird its a really good idea, you should suggest it. At the moment tourists do arrive by road from other cities but just in their private cars, coaches would be really cool though

Before I got the "After Dark" DLC, I thought that the "Bus Station" it included was going to be just that. A coach terminal that buses would arrive at from outside town. Turned out not to be that, obviously.
