For particular places we should use 'at', but not 'in'.

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

Use the word'in' when you are discussing cities, towns, and countries
Use the word 'at' when speaking about direction, street addresses, or position.
Dorothy lives in Kansas City.
She works at the market
