bus station

Coach terminal building

A bus station is a facility where buses pick up and drop off passengers, typically with multiple bays for different routes and destinations.

Unlike a simple bus stop, a station usually has a building with amenities—ticket counters, waiting areas, restrooms: We waited at the bus station for the overnight coach to Chicago.
