1. The shuttle bus is always parked in the parking lot. Other areas are forbidden.
The shuttle bus will wait for us in the parking lot. 2. The driver of the shuttle bus may stay in the vehicle playing his mobile phone, or shoot a breeze with security guards in the security room. I am not sure.
parking working, The driver will wait for us at/in the parking lot. So, we have a parking place and a parking space in AE and a car park in BE to talk about individual places. And a parking lot is an open area where there are many parking spaces, parking places and car parks. After all, we drive into the parking lot. The parking lot is also a two-dimensional area, but it can be three-dimensional if the parking lot is enclosed (with a roof), which adds the notion of "height." In any event, I don't find "parked on the parking lot" incorrect.
parking working, A parking space is a space which is used for parking. Space is countable in this usage, and parking is being used as an adjective. The bookstore is very big and there is a parking lot/space/place beside it. Do a parking lot, space, and place refer to the same thing? And which should I use here? Thanks.
The OP sentences "I parked before the post office" and "I parked after the post office" are, I think, a lot less likely. 1- I found a parking spot (/place) just before I got to the post office. 2- I found a parking spot (/place) just after I passed the post office. There is absolutely nothing wrong with those in BE.
