May 28, 2015 · Apr 27, 2015. #4. In my (British) English, "terminus" in the bus context is generic. It's the end or the beginning (depending on the passenger's point of view) of the route. In many cases, it's just a bus stop. If it's in a structure built for buses, it's a terminus that's in a "bus station."

Oct 11, 2020 · Yes, naming the stop you want is a good idea. But "where" will probably give you a reply that isn't useful -- it isn't about the bus. If the bus stops infrequently (like a subway) you could ask "How many more stops is it to Johnson Boulevard South?" If the bus stops often (every half minute) you wouldn't ask for a count of stops.
