Add a word/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "RAH" (as in "rapper") + "dah" (as in "dart")/
Meaning
A designated stop where public transit pulls over to pick up and drop off passengers. Asking for the right parada in cities like Mexico City or Bogota is a small art: sometimes there is a sign, sometimes it is just a spot on the sidewalk that regulars recognize. Tourists miss their stop at least once.
Examples
“Which bus stop do I need for downtown?”
“I missed my stop and had to walk three blocks back.”
