Bus garage

A bus garage is a big building where buses live when they are not driving around making stops and taking people to different places. Just like how you have a house or apartment where you live, buses also have a place where they can rest and get ready for their next adventure!

The bus garage has lots of different parts, just like your house. When a bus first comes into the garage, it goes to a part of the building called the maintenance area. This is where the mechanics check the bus to make sure it is running smoothly and fix any problems they find.

After maintenance, the bus might go to a place called the fueling station. This is where the bus gets filled up with fuel, just like how your parents fill up the car with gas.

The bus also needs a place to park while it's waiting for its next route. This is called the bus parking area. There are lots of spaces for different buses to park in and wait their turn to go out and pick up passengers.

Lastly, there's the dispatch area. This is where the people who work at the bus garage tell drivers which routes to take and what time they need to leave. They also keep track of how many buses are out on the road and make sure there are enough buses to cover all the routes.

So, just like you have a home, buses have a home too! The bus garage is where they go to rest, get fixed, and wait their turn to go out and explore the world.
