I wonder if these words are English
Are the following expressions acceptable to English-speaking people?
1. Taxi stop
If no, how do you say a place in front of an airport, for example, where people wait in line to get taxis?
Can I say, "Taxi platform"?
2. Group tour bus
Chan I say, "Chartered coach" instead?
3. High-speed intercity bus
Can I say, "high-speed intercity coach" instead?

All three sound good to me for the UK. You would probably have to modify them a little for the USA. For example, you would have a taxi stand in the USA.

- And a bus/coach that doesn't do a milk run(multiple stops) is usually called an express.
