WHAT YOU WANT TO SUGGEST OR MENTION:
I previously made a suggestion solely about adding a new train station, which you can read about here. However, I would like to include a bus stop in addition to it. A bus stop is definitely achievable with the spacing and size of the city, and it fits much more into this ‘small town’ vibe that the map is looking for.
A bus was already previously used before to bring people to the sports events, so we know it is possible.
I would like to suggest two ways of implementing a bus station with working buses.
HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT THE SERVER/COMMUNITY?:
Again, this idea is not something I would consider essential, but it is another way to make the city feel more alive and busy.
The implementation of a bus stop also allows the choice of setting more locations to be able to warp to, as the current subway station only allows warping to 3 places.
Not to mention if newer players see this huge bus driving around, they would be inclined to explore possibly on their own or with the bus. It unknowingly gives them a tour of the map. Also the concept of a bus stop using actual Japanese bus stops is totally doable, since they are nothing more than a bench and maybe a compact glass case as seen below.
(Above is an example of a Japanese bus stop usually used in cities.)

In this idea, we work with the concept of a bus that is a set building; it does not move, it works only through signs (as used by the current subway system).
However, you would only be able to warp to other nearby stations, as opposed to the subway system allowing you to be able to warp a further distance. This means players would have to go through multiple stations at a time if they wish to get much distance.
This idea works if people are willing to make room in the streets for a bus built to the side of some streets, which a good amount of people may not be so enthusiastic about. However, this is a lot easier to do than the idea below.
(Above is a concept of what a stationary bus could look like on the street.)

This works mainly if a bus vehicle is implemented in the server; it would have a designated driver with a designated route (being the bus stations as seen above) and a number of seats in the actual vehicle.
Say this works the way a normal city bus would; they make their way to the city-set stops during a certain timeframe of the day.
This idea works to create a new role within the server; possibly [Bus Driver] or just [Driver], which I assume would fall under the ‘City Positions’ category and will be overseen by the ‘Mayor’ or ‘Deputy Mayor’ role. This idea also eliminates the possible clutter of a stationary bus build, which would take up more space than just a bus stop with a moving vehicle.
