Bus bay :

A bus turnout, bus pullout, bus bay, bus lay-by, or off-line bus stop is a designated spot on the side of a road where public transport will halt away from the traffic to pick up and drop off passengers. It is often indented into the sidewalk or other pedestrian areas so that it does not create an obstruction to free flow traffic
