Also, there are stops everywhere which they are planning to add on main busy streets, which can be quite dodgy compared to a bus station. 
Really they could give eldon square to Stagecoach, Extend Haymarket with one or two extra stands. And build a larger bus station near by for GNE.

I don’t think cross city services should be put into bus stations as calling at a bus station takes longer than calling at an on street bus stop.

I hope these new smart traffic signals aren't like smart motorways
