What It Means
公交车站 is the standard term for a bus stop. It combines 公交 (public transport), 车 (vehicle), and 站 (station). Think of it as your gateway to the city. It is where you stand and wait for your ride.
How To Use It
You use it just like in English. You can say you are 'at' the stop or 'going to' the stop. Use the verb 在 (at) or 去 (go to). It is a noun, so it fits easily into sentences. You will see it on maps and street signs everywhere.
When To Use It
Use it when giving directions to a driver. Use it when meeting a friend for lunch. It is perfect for texting your location. If you are lost, ask for the nearest 公交车站. It is a universal survival word for urban life.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use it for train stations or subways. Those use 火车站 or 地铁站. If you are in a tiny village, they might just say 站. Avoid using it for private car pick-up spots. It specifically refers to the official public bus infrastructure.
Cultural Background
In China, bus stops are social hubs. You will see elderly people chatting or students checking phones. Many stops now have digital screens showing wait times. In big cities like Shanghai, they are sleek and modern. In older neighborhoods, they might just be a simple pole. They are the heartbeat of the daily commute.
Common Variations
People often shorten it to 公交站. In some regions, they might say 巴士站. If you are talking about the final stop, use 终点站. For a large terminal, use 公交枢纽. Most locals just stick to the three-character 公交站 for speed.
Nutzungshinweise
This phrase is highly versatile and works in almost any social context. It is neither too formal nor too slangy, making it a safe bet for A1 learners.
