With apologies to my my malignantly compact 12 lane main bus, which I will not spend the effort to space out on account of my 25 hours Space Exploration save still being a "starter base".

If you do 4 lanes max with 2 spaces between sets of lanes, getting stuff on and off the bus is easy

More generally, just remember to always use even numbers for both lanes and gaps. I usually template out where the spaces will be with stone bricks early on, spaced so there's always an alignment guide on screen.

True, the 4 lanes max is really only for yellow belts since that is the max they can tunnel.
