When to use it
The key verb here is 下车 (xiàchē); literally "get off the vehicle." Notice Chinese flips the English structure: instead of "which stop is mine," you ask "at which stop should I get off." On Beijing or Shanghai buses, drivers rarely announce stops in English, so this phrase is a lifesaver. Start with 请问 (qǐngwèn) for strangers; it's the polite "excuse me" that opens almost any question to someone you don't know. Dropping 一 and saying 哪站 is totally natural in speech.
