station
Place to board
A station is one of a number of locations that serve the same purpose.
At a train or bus station, you can board, or leave, a train or bus.
Cities have police stations where law enforcement operations take place.
A radio station broadcasts its programs on an assigned frequency, alongside many other stations.
You can fill up your car at a gas station.
To station someone (especially military personnel) in a place is to send them there to do a job.
