When referring to public transport, pysäyt indicates a designated stop where buses, trams, or trains will pause to allow passengers to board or alight. These stops are typically marked with signs or designated shelters.

The word pysäyt can also be used more broadly to describe any action of stopping something. For instance, one might say "pysäytä auto" which means "stop the car."
