How to say "about five stops" in Chinese

大概五站。

dàgài wǔ zhàn

Go about five stops

Use this to tell someone how many metro stops they need to travel. It's a statement, not a question. If you're asking, say 大概几站? (dàgài jǐ zhàn?) — "about how many stops?" Don't use 站 for bus stops — that's 车站 (chēzhàn) or 公交站 (gōngjiāo zhàn).
