Play outside transport terminal in Chiswick (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

busk

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

'play outside transport' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'terminal in chiswick' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'terminal' could be 'bus' (bus terminal is a kind of terminal) and 'bus' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'k' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for busk that I've seen before include "Improvise; perform for money in the street" , "Play street music" , "Play for donations" , "provide entertainment for money" , "Perform, seeking coins" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
