[@grawp_coder1737]

Actually a bus stand is a transport corporation approved halt for a bus, which goes through that route and a bus stop can be used for some organisation or schools, like if there's a school and they have a transportation system the would assign some spot where the child has to wait for his bus or whatever, that would be bus stop in my opinion...
