| Abstract from DBPedia | A bus station or a bus interchange is a structure where city or intercity buses stop to pick up and drop off passengers. While the term bus depot can also be used to refer to a bus station, it generally refers to a bus garage. A bus station 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.自動車駅（じどうしゃえき）は、日本国有鉄道の自動車路線におけるバス停留所やバスターミナル・荷捌き施設のうち、鉄道駅と同等の業務を執り行う施設の名称。日本国有鉄道に由来しない、自動車駅と同等のバス駅についてもで扱う。 本項では以下、日本国有鉄道自動車局の事業については、旅客輸送・貨物輸送にかかわらず「国鉄バス」と表記する。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Bus_station) |
