What does "Bus Stand" refers?
Where would you go if you were looking for a "bus stand" somewhere outside India !!Though the word "Bus Stand" is used very frequently by Indians, it does not find a place in many dictionaries because native speakers of english do not use it
They tend to use the word "Bus Stop" to refer to the place where a bus stops to pick up passengers. A bus stop, which offers protection against the sun, rain, etc., is called a "Bus Shelter".
Indians also use the word "Bus stand" to refer the place where buses going to and coming from different destinations are parked. Native speakers refer to such a place as "Bus Station" or "Terminus".
