In the US, most cities have designated bus stops. The bus will only pickup and dropoff there. The stops are usually only a few blocks apart, so getting off close to your destination should not be a problem. Some have benches, some have small enclosures, but others just have a sign.

What is a stop time at a traffic signal?


Note that a bus will only stop at a bus stop if it is dropping someone off or someone flags it down. To flag down the bus, just stick out your arm and wave. Once inside the bus, there is either a rope/cable running above the windows that you pull, or black strips near the door that you press to signal the driver to stop at the next stop.
