Yes Ashok, we use 'on the roof' and 'at the bus stop' so use of these words differ by means of position.

We use "at" whn we r far from tht place and "in" is used whn we r inside tht place.
Eg.-I was supposed to meet her at the corner, but I found her in the drugstore.

'in' is used where we refer to some particular place. 'at' is used where we refer to something big. Like for eg. He lives "in Gomti Nagar" "at Lucknow".
