A Bus Stand

A bus stand is a busy place where bus stops for a while to get the passengers into the bus and to get down from the bus. Generally it is situated at the junction of the roads or beside a market. People wait for the bus arrival. In some bus stands there are counters for ticket and passengers stand in a line for buying tickets. It is a busy and noisy place. We can hear the shouting of the helpers, conductors and hawkers.  Many types of hawkers are available who sell bread, cigarette, fruit, newspaper etc. Some street beggars cry in loud voice to draw the passengers’ attention. There are a few big bus stands located at the district headquarters. Besides these big bus-stands, there are some temporary bus stands. When a bus comes, people do hurry get into the bus. They push one another to get on it. At that time the drivers and the conductors are also very busy. Most of the buses are found crowded. So, thieves, and pickpockets sometimes try to misguide the innocent passengers for fulfilling their evil desires. After all, a bus stand plays an important role in communication. So, government should take proper steps for the improvement of the bus station.
