a place at the side of a road that is usually marked with a sign, where buses regularly stop for passengers
A bus stop is a specific location where a bus regularly stops to pick up or drop off passengers. It is usually marked by a sign, and sometimes includes a bench or shelter for waiting. Bus stops are placed along bus routes at regular intervals, making it easy for people to get on or off the bus. They can be found in both busy and quieter areas, and they serve as key points in the public transportation network for people to catch their bus or reach their destination.
