Cultural Tip
In most Latin American countries the term "parada de bus" is everyday speech, while in Spain you’ll hear "parada de autobús" more often. Both are correct. When pointing out a location, Spaniards often use "allí" for something farther away and "ahí" for something nearer the listener, so choose the demonstrative that matches the distance you want to convey.
