Bus station

A bus station is a structure where city or intercity buses stop to pick up and drop off passengers. It is larger than a bus stop, which is usually simply a place on the roadside, where buses can stop. It may be intended as a terminal station for a number of routes, or as a transfer station where the routes continue.

Bus station platforms may be assigned to fixed bus lines, or variable in combination with a dynamic passenger information system. The latter requires fewer platforms, but does not supply the passenger the comfort of knowing the platform well in advance and waiting there.

Types of stations

Bus Station

C Am C Am
Bus station, at sun-up, lookin' for a new, place to go
C Am
He sips his coffie, and he pulls his ring,
and thinks of how she looked years ago
C Am C Am
And she curls up, with a blanket, in a yellow, plastic
seat
C Am
He touches her, and she looks out the window,
at an empty morning street
Chorus:
Am F C
Well, he musta had a screw loose, in his head
Am F C
To end up like this after all he said
F C F G C
He lies to her, she kisses him, gettin' tired of love
Bus station, at sun-up, she reads the ticket, in her
hand
It's a different name, for the same old town, and this
ain't the life
that they had planned
And so he tries to tell her, it won't be like the,
times before
It's a different town, and a brand new start, and he's
gonna work a whole lot more.
Chorus
Bus station, at sun-up, another hour, left to blow
He touches her, but she'd like to leave,
and there's no place left to go
Chorus
Am F C
Well, she musta had a screw loose, in her head
Am F C
How could she believe all the things he said
F C F G C
She lies to him, he kisses her, gettin' tired of love
Am F C Am F
