Giving Specific Instructions in Mandarin Chinese
How would you go about conveying instructions in the most polite form? For example, if I'm giving some one instructions, would I say:
你得坐公共汽车三站。，
你要坐公共汽车三站。，or
你坐公共汽车三站吧。
谢谢你！

As you are giving help, the following three are all acceptable, only the third is fairly gentle in style.
你得坐公共汽车三站。---> We usually say 你得坐三站公交（公交车）： YOu have to take bus and go three stops.
or 你得坐三路公交： YOu’ll have to take bus 3.
你要坐公共汽车三站。.....
你坐公共汽车三站吧。.....
