Ash Presumably your table names are those of the routes? Right-click the map - layer control - choose the table - click the "label" button - from the "label with" combo choose "expression" - type in your table name (or whatever - choose the stop no., say, if you have it, instead of an expression).
If you have open your MapBasic window (from options menu), you will see the code generated by your actions. Copy and paste it into your startup.wor (or whatever .wor you use) and your bus stops will have their labels. Include the code in a loop for all your different tables, substituting the table name, of course.
