INTRODUCTION
A bus stop is a designated place where buses stop for passengers to get on and off the bus. The construction
of bus stops tends to reflect the level of usage, where stops at busy locations may have shelters, seating, and
possibly electronic passenger information systems; less busy stops may use a simple pole and flag to mark the
location. Bus stops are, in some locations, clustered together into transport hubs allowing interchange
between routes from nearby stops and with other public transport modes to maximise convenience.
Types of service :
For operational purposes, there are three main kinds of stops: Scheduled stops, at which the bus should
stop irrespective of demand; request stops (or flag stop), at which the vehicle will stop only on request;
and hail and ride stops, at which a vehicle will stop anywhere along the designated section of road on
request.

Certain stops may be restricted to "discharge/set-down only" or "pick-up only". Some stops may be
designated as "timing points", and if the vehicle is ahead of schedule it will wait there to ensure correct
synchronization with the timetable. In dense urban areas where bus volumes are high, skip-stops are
sometimes used to increase efficiency and reduce delays at bus stops. Fare stages may also be
defined by the location of certain stops in distance or zone-based fare collection systems.
