A bus departure refers to the scheduled time when a bus leaves a specific location, such as a bus station or a designated stop. Passengers typically gather at the departure point to board the bus, ensuring they arrive a few minutes early to secure their seats and prepare for the journey. The departure process often includes announcements about the bus number, destination, and any delays. Once all passengers are on board, the driver checks the passenger list and departs, following the planned route to reach the final destination safely and on time.
