bus stations

Coach departure points

Bus stations are facilities where buses pick up and drop off passengers, typically for intercity or regional routes.

Unlike simple bus stops, stations usually have buildings with amenities—ticket counters, waiting areas, restrooms, and sometimes food vendors.

The Greyhound bus station was on the edge of downtown.

In American cities, bus stations often occupy less prestigious locations than train stations.
