BusReservation
BusReservation is a Reservation subtype for bus travel bookings. It adds no properties of its own. Set reservationFor to a BusTrip object with departureBusStop, arrivalBusStop, departureTime, and arrivalTime. Use reservedTicket for the bus ticket details. Gmail reads this to show a bus travel card.
For a complete property walkthrough, see the Reservation example. Replace "@type": "Reservation" with "@type": "BusReservation" and set reservationFor to a BusTrip.

reservationFor as a BusStation instead of BusTrip
Wrong"reservationFor": { "@type": "BusStation", "name": "Scranton Central" }Right"reservationFor": { "@type": "BusTrip", "departureBusStop": { ... }, "arrivalBusStop": { ... } }You reserve a trip, not a station. reservationFor should be a BusTrip with departure and arrival stops. Gmail needs the trip details to display the route on the card.
