How do I get good with small talks?

By training.
"How do I train?"
By having small talks.

Yes, it might be shitty at first, but you'll calibrate each time and learn to calibrate better for the next time.

You can also find on youtube good channels that talk about being charismatic and so on.
There goes two of them: "CharismaOnDemand" and "Practical Psychology"

Practice. Put yourself out there. Taking Uber is good for this, cause sometimes you'll be pressured to make small talk

Just talk about everything you want to say. Then learn what things not to say. Easy.

Any suggestions for conversation starters as well? Planning on taking the bus around the US soon and hoping to initiate conversations with fellow passengers if they're willing to talk.

I took benzodiazepines to get on a roll, just to give me a nudge so I can talk to people without being super nervous. Then I stopped taking them and continued practicing.

It's a social skill. Skills are learned through practice.

Weather, news, a small compliment, what's currently going on in your current location, something about them like what they're wearing, how their day has been, an opinion on something insignificant, where they're from, what their job is, their hobbies

There's some ideas. Just continue to ask more questions about whatever they start talking about and be ready to answer some questions about yourself that they might ask about you.
