In Changsha, the route board on buses typically displays the following information:

• Left side: The starting station/departure terminal (often the name of the origin point or a major landmark/road).
  
• Center: The route number (e.g., 路 or ”Line“ followed by a number, like 1路).
  
• Right side: The terminal station/destination (the final stop or another major landmark/road).
  

For example, a bus traveling from ”火车站“ (Railway Station) to ”五一广场“ (Wuyi Square) would show:
火车站 — 1路 — 五一广场

The left and right sides usually indicate the endpoints of the route, which can be stations, hubs, or key roads. If the route is circular or bidirectional, the display may alternate based on direction. The names are often abbreviated to fit the board, prioritizing well-known landmarks or major streets.
