Which one should you use?

While 巴士站 refers to a general bus stop, 巴士總站 specifically refers to a bus terminus or a central station.

The word 巴士 is a phonetic loanword from the English word 'bus'. It is one of many English terms adopted into Cantonese during the colonial era in Hong Kong.
In highly crowded areas of Hong Kong, the queue at a 巴士站 is strictly maintained by social convention, and jumping the line is considered a major social faux pas.
The character 站 (zaam6) literally means 'to stand', which highlights the conceptual connection between the location and the act of waiting for transport.
