1) Could you please give me directions to the bus stop?

2) I would like to get the directions to the bus stop.

3) Can I get directions to the metro station?

Are these sentences correct?

We can ask this if we don't know the correct path to reach a particular place. Am I correct? Please check this sentence as well.
 
1) Could you please give me directions to the bus stop? :tick: (You would need to say which bus stop, of course!)
2) I would like to get the directions to the bus stop. Grammatically correct but it's just a statement of fact. It won't necessarily elicit a useful response.
3) Can I get directions to the [STRIKE]metro station[/STRIKE] bus stop? Grammatically correct but, again, it's not clearly a request for directions.

Are these sentences correct?

We can ask this if we don't know the correct [STRIKE]path[/STRIKE] way/route to [STRIKE]reach[/STRIKE] a particular place. Am I correct? Please check [STRIKE]this sentence as well[/STRIKE] all the text in this post.

See above. Sentence 1 is the clearest of the three. I would say "Can you please tell me how to get to the Marshall Street bus stop?" (I would also need to say which bus I want to catch and in which direction.)
