A
bus
stand,
also
called
a
bus
bay,
or
bus
stance,
is
a
designated
parking
location
where
a
bus
or
coach
waits
out
of
service
between
scheduled
public
transport
services.
'Bus
stand'
is
also
often
an
alternative
name
for
specific
bus
stops
inside
a
bus
station.
A
bus
stand
are
seen
at
different
busy
spots.
Like
school
or
college
gates,
markets,
medical
centres
and
the
crossing
point
of
two
or
more
roads.
A
bus
stand
is
usually
employed
to
allow
a
bus
to
lay
over
at
a
bus
terminus,
without
giving
the
appearance
of
being
in
service,
or
blocking
the
stop
from
use
by
other
buses
that
are
in
service.
Bus
stands
also
allow
short-term
parking
for
driver
changes
or
driver
breaks.
In
the
simplest
case,
a
bus
turnout
type
of
bus
stop
is
extended,
and
buses
can
lay
over
away
from
the
stop
if
necessary.
In
locations
where
buses
cannot
remain
stationary
for
long,
nearby
but
separate
bus
stands
may
be
provided
where
other
bus
parking
is
not
conveniently
located.
Due
to
their
public
transport
use,
bus
stands
will
often
be
specifically
covered
by
local
legislation.
Parking
of
non-public
service
vehicles
(PSVs)
in
bus
stands
may
be
prohibited.
For
pollution
and
fuel
saving
concerns,
drivers
may
be
required
to
switch
their
engines
off
if
in
a
bus
stand,
as
opposed
to
when
stopped
in
a
bus
stop.
In
public
bus
and
coach
stations,
buses
will
often
be
marshalled
into
specific
parking
slots,
which
act
as
stands
where
buses
queue
for
an
available
slot
at
a
departure
point,
such
as
in
Victoria
Coach
Station
in
London.
At
the
appropriate
time,
the
bus
can
be
moved
the
short
distance
to
the
stop,
to
begin
boarding.
