Don’t come here with logical arguments! :(
Comment on An airport is an air-port. A port via the air.
intensely_human@lemm.ee 4 months agoBecause a station is a place you pull up to an leave going the same direction, and a port is a place you enter and then go back out the same way.
Airplanes come down to a port, then go back up.
Boats come into a port, then back out to sea.
Buses come into a station, then go along their way. Same as trains.

Buses come from a road and then go back to the same road, so this line of reasoning makes no sense.

The buses never leave the road. The station is on the road.
When buses pull into spaces, then back out, it’s called a bus port.

I don’t know what bus stations you’ve been to, but every bus station I’ve been to was something like an airport. Everything else has been a bus stop.
