It's been a mess when I put multiple bus stops along the road near train station. I decided to put them into a terminal like this. It worked quite well and few other cars drove in as long as i don't build near the terminal. Basically 1 lane is for 1 line but some less busy lines can share with others.

(not sure why the image has white space). To a bigger view, it is connected to the 2 train stations. the right one is city loop line, like the one in Osaka and Tokyo. The left one is regional, connecting city centre to industrial area in the outskirt. two stations are connected by walkway. I am not sure if passengers are willing to change from one station to another yet but at least the tracks are not congested anymore.

Cool! I've been working on splitting up tracks with stations like that! So far my main concern was having a cargo station and a pasenger station split like that. Though now you've given me some new ideas.

Yeah in fact i have separated cargo line - it always jammed from outside of my city so i'd better let it jam without affecting my passenger lines. it takes a lot of space but worth the effort.

It looks nice Did you place paths to get those islands like that?

Yes but I could not place all over it so it left some "soil" exposed. Had to plant some trees on it to make it look better.

This has worked really well for me. On my last city I started playing around with a design and was still running smooth up to 100k people so redid it in the center of my map on my new city.
The roads are one way in and one out to a highway.
The bottom rows are for bus stops that go all over the city, and all pull off on their own sideroad to pick up people to get out of the way of other colored buses.
4 subway lines that go to each part of town, and 4 train stations that do the same.
People using mass transit all pass through this 'hub'. And have one bus loop that does nothing but trolley people around the hub stopping at the stations and the subways.

It seems to work really well. on the 100k people map I had so many packs of cims walking all over that areas zooming in all the way my FPS would drop

I may have to do that, though maybe only in a couple of city tiles for now. I'll keep that in mind though for future rail building.

DXWarlock, very cool! Could you label everything in that pic and show arrows for the directions and loops everything moves, including the internal bus line?

There is an asset that will allow you to fill in those areas with concrete, bricks, asphalt heck all types of cool city things so you don't have to have trees or soil if you don't want to.
Go to the Steam workshop and you will find them all there

Forget my last comment ^ I can see how it works now.

Here is my little bus terminal design I use around the city, its similar to your design, I then link the bus routes connecting these so cims can make easy transfers.
