There are about 700 bus stops in Kyoto city as of 2019. As for the number of buses, there are about 800 buses, all of which are idling stop functioned vehicles. (2023) If you know this, there is no reason not to use the bus. Also, the current stop is very friendly.
In addition to timetables and the main stops on the route, there are also useful features that indicate that a bus is approaching. If you know when the bus is coming, it will make a big difference in your mood. In addition, the bus you want to take may be super full, but if you know that a bus with the same number will come right after, you can pass that bus comfortably.
Many bus stops have roofs to keep out rain and sun. There are also benches at some stops. You can feel the consideration of that "the city did everything it could for tourists from the world." Instead of waiting for the bus with frustration, let's travel with a "relaxed mind" and an open mind!
