Learning notes
Explanation
สถานี means “station” or “facility,” and ขนส่ง means “transport.” Although the compound literally describes a transportation hub for people or goods, when used by itself it normally means a terminal for intercity or long-distance buses. Such terminals often have multiple boarding bays, ticket counters, and waiting areas. แห่ง is commonly used when counting these facilities, as in สถานีขนส่งสองแห่ง, “two bus terminals.”
Usage
It is commonly used when asking where an intercity bus terminal is, telling a taxi driver your destination, buying tickets, or discussing bus departures and arrivals. In logistics contexts, adding สินค้า (“goods” or “freight”) forms สถานีขนส่งสินค้า, meaning “freight terminal.”
Caution
Do not confuse this with ป้ายรถเมล์, an ordinary roadside bus stop, or สถานีรถไฟ, a railway station. Since a city may have several bus terminals, include the location or terminal name when giving a destination.
