Introduction: 

Bus or train station is a structure where a city or intercity bus or train stops to pick up and drop off passengers. Here I am going to share about my city bus station.

Where is it?

In my city there are both train and bus stations, but here I am going to talk about the bus station which is located in the center of the city with frequent bus facilities. Also this bus station is one of the oldest bus stations in chennai. This bus station covers about 1.5 acres.

What types of transportation are available there?

Mostly roadway transportation vehicles like Government buses, private buses, cabs, Auto rickshaws are available to the passengers. Usually public buses and private buses are frequently there.

Explain why people use this bus or train station.

It is the main bus stop for some villages and areas around the city.  Also people from other districts who are all coming here will use this stop to catch their transport, or people from this city who need to go to some other city or districts will go to this bus stop. 

Conclusion:

Still there are many villages, which don't have bus stops or frequent bus facilities. In my view, public buses are common to every citizen, so the government should take some steps to provide these facilities to villages which don’t have bus facilities.
