Bus Transport
In bus transport the term request stop is used in two ways:
- A fixed bus stop which is only serviced if passengers request it, in a manner similar to a train request stop.
- A "Hail and ride" section of the route where passengers can request the bus be stopped at any point.

Famous quotes containing the words bus and/or transport:
“It seemed a long way from 143rd Street. Shaking hands with the Queen of England was a long way from being forced to sit in the colored section of the bus going into downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Dancing with the Duke of Devonshire was a long way from not being allowed to bowl in Jefferson City, Missouri, because the white customers complained about it.”
—Althea Gibson (b. 1927)
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
