The new bus stop in comparison with the small platform ?

[fjorkar]

Dear comrades,
The new bus stop in comparison with the small platform is space and money saving, and enough for 200 passengers, I'm considering replacing all my small platform with bus stops, can anyone confirm the positive effect of my idea ? before I mess up my bus network bring.
MG83, forzion, forged73, please your advice
with the best regards

I don't have a lot of data, but personally I really like them for the pass-through capability. Regular stops, a bus can only enter or exit as long as no other vehicle is in motion, creating bottlenecks that so far I haven't seen in the roadside stops [as they pull in, pull over, and GTFO], but I also haven't used them in a wide variety of situations.

They are great for standard routes and drop offs. I would use stations for transport hubs/transfers still though.

Thank you, comrades,
for the quick response.
I will also have some small platform and a big one to stay in the cities, but also build several bus stops. I tried my test match, instead of a small platform I could build a bus stop and a pub or a football field, Downtown was very convenient and cheap, but I was a bit unsure.
thanks again TheAmishStig & ryantheskinny

Small bus stop are ok as transit. If you are, for example, having an end of the line bus stop for workers heading to mines or Industries a large nhs stop is better.
