How can I say ?

[cnshah]

I want to ask bus driver what is the last station. So can I say it like "Where the train will be terminated or where does the train end?

Hi,

You could simply ask "Which is the last station?"

Your first sentence sounds as if you are expecting Arnie to appear on the scene.

If you want to use 'terminate', as some transport officials do, it needs to be active, not passive: "Where will/does the train terminate?" This sounds rather stuffy.

I mistook it for this:
Ernie - Muppets - Sesame Street - Sesame Street

Easily done. There's not a great deal of difference in accent, appearance or acting ability.

Ohhhh, I am loving the idea of Ernie from Sesame Street playing the Terminator! Made my evening. ;-)

Most of your thread titles have been equally meaningless, cnshah.

A good one for this thread would have been

Where the train will be terminated?

Why ask a bus driver about train destinations?;-)

Looks like Ernie's been beaten to it by one of his co-stars: Cookinator - Worth1000 Contests

Indeed...
Ernie (or cookinator) is to blame for that.;-)

Hi teachers,

Can we say "What is the last station?" ?

Thanks.

 

[Rover_KE]

Yes.

 

[5jj]

But not to a bus driver.

Train: What is the last station?
Bus: What is the last stop?

Not a teacher!


In the ol' days, while travelling on the buses, you could have asked the conductor.

The terminus is usually indicated on the front of the bus. Should I fail to read this I would ask, 'What is the last stop?' or, 'What is the final destination?'

5jj, why did you post the above? First I thought I had misspelled the word.
