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.
