Native usage of けど


I understand that けれども/けれど/けど means "although, however, but", but I'm looking
for the daily usage of it.

It looks like that native Japanese use this particle not only when they are
trying to contradict two things. Would any native level Japanese speaker show
some example of けれども/けれど/けど that will make me sound more Japanese please?

An example would be (I heard this when I was buying a train ticket, someone
said to the train station staff):

> ◯◯に行きたいんですけど…

Doesn't make sense to me. I suspect this is due to Japanese culture.




Quite simply, けど is also often used as a softener. That way, they don't sound
as abrupt or rude.

> ◯◯に行きたいんですけど…

The speaker added けど to make sure (s)he didn't sound like, "I want to go to
◯◯!" when trying to get a ticket.
