Bus stops appeared alongside the development of bus transportation in the early 19th century.
The first organized bus services began in Paris and London in the 1820s and 1830s.
Bus stops were simple locations where passengers waited for horse-drawn buses.
With the invention of motorized buses, bus stops became more standardized and marked.
Modern bus stops often include shelters, benches, and information signs for passengers.
They serve as essential points for public transportation systems worldwide.
