I've seen them both with the meaning of 'Bus Stop.' Could someone please
explain how they're different?

Thank you in advance!

question
word-choice
What is the difference between 乗り場 and バス停?
Firstly, のりば is not limited to buses. It means essentially "getting on point".
(Cf. タクシーのりば "taxi stand".) There's a word for "getting off point" as well:
おりば (降り場).

バスのりば is used in larger terminals for indicating where the bus stops are. The
individual platforms are sometimes numbered as 1番のりば, 2番のりば, etc., or 1番線,
2番線, etc.

A バス停 (short for バス停留所) is a "conventional" bus stop outside a terminal. I
would think of it as a sign at the side of a road, where a bus stops. Usually,
for most bus lines, the のりば and おりば are one and the same—some people get off
the bus, others get on. Calling a バス停 a のりば (or おりば) would only really make
sense to disambiguate のりば from おりば for a particular (group of) bus lines. For
example, there may be a roadside bus stop outside a large bus/train terminal,
which is the おりば for a bus line whose のりば is inside the terminal.

answer
I'm not a native speaker of English. So my English sentense would have many
wrong term...

"乗り場" is the word that means place to get on vehicles. "バス停" means a "bus
stop". We use it for only the bus.
