| | | English translation:turnouts/pullouts (see below) | Explanation:
I would avoid 'bay' because that term also used for the numbered slots in a bus terminal.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_turnout
A bus turnout, bus pullout, bus bay, bus lay-by (UK), or off-line bus stop is a special zone on the side of the main roadway (or bus/tram lane) for primarily buses to stop for a designated bus stop in order to pick up and drop off passengers. |
