Busk briefly, beside building where people queue? (3,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bus shelter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'people queue?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'busk briefly beside building' is the wordplay.
'briefly' means to remove the last letter.
'beside' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'building' becomes 'shelter' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'busk' with its last letter taken off is 'bus'.
'bus'+'shelter'='BUS SHELTER'

'where' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for bus shelter that I've seen is " ITEM IN URBAN LANDSCAPE".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
