Morphology

fare-stage = fare + stage (transparent) = fare + stage

Etymology

Fare-stage is made of fare meaning 'payment for travel' and stage meaning 'a part of a journey'. So a fare-stage is one section of a bus route where the price stays the same no matter where you get on or off within that section.
