Probably not.  If you have proof of purchase (unlikely), you could get one.

I ended up buying SC4 on Steam when it was like 75% off or something though I lost my CDs and key too.

I have the CD's, case, etc just the manual holding the authentication key is gone

how do you grid. as far as zoning and bus stops

Well the city I built up there wasn't planned at all. Basically I just put a bus stop on every corner and two rail lines intersecting the whole map.

My plan for my next large city is to use this:



I recall reading somewhere that pedestrians walk a maximum of 7 blocks so that should cover everything. I don't plan on putting a rail station in ever city block because I don't want train tracks that dense across my map. I'll also make some extra wide blocks for horizontal rails that go east/west, those will probably be 7 blocks wide so I can run a rail down the center and have 3 tiles on each side.

Here's a short technical article that explains some of how people decide what form of transportation to take although it's got a lot of holes:

Parking structures only hardly work. You have to like force your sims to use them or they won't even bother with them.

Only use them in black hole density cities, where parking somewhere i like a line in the DMV, just bring a pillow and blanket, you're going nowhere fast.

Oh well, but I remember when I bought Simcity 4 deluxe, I looked on the back of the box and saw this:

I thought this would happen, but it never did.
Also, one of my cities:

What doth thou meanith?

i think the arrow facing directional thingies just need to face a road.
the actual rails themselves just need to touch the station from any side.
