So basically, they would drive to a bus station, just to get on a bus?

Are you for real with this? Have you even ever seen a functioning bus line like this before? No. That's not basically it at all.

You have a couple stops in the small town direct from the hub/city to pick up and ferry people to the larger area. From there they can walk/take another bus or other form of transport like a train. It's similar to light rail, but with roads and busses instead of tracks and trains.

how often do you expect people to need to go into the city?

It'd be a lot easier for some people to find jobs who can't afford their own car if they could actually get to the city where the jobs are. So every day.
