Experience at A Railway and A Bus Station
Yes, I have visited both a railway station and a bus station. Both places always remain crowded. I have visited these places several times.
When I was about ten, I have visited a railway station with my parents for the first time and I visit a bus station almost every week.
I went to the station because it was near to my father’s office. When I went to the railway station, I saw a shed over the platform.
The railway station had its master’s office, a booking-office, and waiting room for men and women.
There were restaurants, bookstalls and stationery shops also. Passengers came and went away. People were found in a long line to buy tickets.
