stops
Places buses pause
Stops is the plural of stop, marking points where motion or activity ceases.
A bus makes several stops along its route.
In music, stops are knobs on an organ controlling different pipe sets—to pull out all the stops is to use every resource available, holding nothing back.
In phonetics, stops are consonants produced by completely blocking airflow: p, b, t, d, k, g.
