This article should not have been retitled from bus stop to bus and tram stop. The latter term implies a place where both buses and trams stop.

Of course, I realize that it's hard to come up with a generic term which can indicate any of:

The English word stop can mean any of these. But "stop" wouldn't make a very good article title, would it?

I'd like to move the article back to bus stop and add a redirect from tram stop. What do you think? --Uncle Ed 13:22, 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)

How about transit stop or transport stop?--67.160.146.193 20:57, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Link removed

Removed wikilink on interchange, as I was making a UK english point and the link refers to US english meaning of the word. May restore if Interchange is altered. Stamford spiney 14:09, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Operators stickers

Can someone explain what "operators stickers" are. AFAIK this term is used neither in Hong Kong nor Canada. An explanation in the article would be much appreciated.—Gniw (Wing) 05:54, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Can't say I'm familiar with it being used in Queensland, Australia either.Alex Law 11:55, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] unsourced statement

"A number of research efforts have concluded that the optimal bus stop spacing for most transit routes is somewhere between 1000-2000 feet (300-600m)." would be good to refer to these by name. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.241.238.25 (talk) 03:27, 6 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Unsourced fictitious image

The image of "A typical London bus stop" is no such thing. It is a fabricated image in the style of a London bus stop. Inter alia: 1 Is the roundel something which London transport authorities claim as theirs and theirs alone? If so then the image should be deleted. 2 The routes shown have no point in common. 3 Whether Fairfax Bus Station and Axtley exist anywhere else or not, they do not exist in the London transport area, however defined. 4 In London there's no express 3XX let alone to Giggleswick and environs

[edit] Omnibus ?

The article starts: A bus stop or omnibus stop is ... Does anybody still use 'omnibus' nowadays ?? --Jotel 18:34, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Delete?

It seems like the information in this article, at least that which is useful, could better be incorporated into other articles. Perhaps this article should then be deleted. 66.234.220.195 (talk) 20:07, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

That's the Wikipedia's way, in its full glory...--Jotel (talk) 20:12, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
