Bus stop

A bus stop is a specific place where a big vehicle called a bus stops for people to get on or off. It's like a special parking spot for the bus to stay for a little bit, so that people who want to ride the bus can wait there and get on when it stops.

Usually, a bus stop has a sign that says the name of the stop and the number of the bus that stops there. This way, people can make sure they are waiting at the right stop for the bus they want to ride.

Sometimes, there are benches at the bus stop so that people can sit while they wait. Some bus stops have roofs or shelters that help to keep people dry if it rains or cool if it's sunny outside.

It's important to wait for the bus to come to a full stop before getting on or off. When getting on, people usually pay a fare or show a pass to the bus driver. Once they're on the bus, they can find a seat or hold onto a pole or strap so they don't fall while the bus is moving.

Overall, a bus stop is a safe and convenient place for people to catch a ride on a bus and get to where they need to go.
