I think it's for apartment numbers, Routes,etc.
like
example:
KT
care of Alan Greenspan
1234 Fake street
Beverly hills, CA 90210
...right? I'm pretty sure that' sit.

Well at the hospital the second line is normally used for POBOX because apartment numbers fit on the first line

Yes that is right. Although, as eva01 has said, you can also usually put the apartment info on the first line.
All you ever actually need to identify an address is your house number/name and your post code. Everything else is superfluous.
Just for the fun of it, here's the proper address formats. (I really hate those retarded shippers that can't understand a highway contract address, even though it's one of just a few standard USPS formats.)
BTW, I'll often use the second address line for my milepost, like so...
Arr E. Heech
HC 39 Box 275E
Mile 8 Somelong Hwy
Some City SS 93845

It would look like a 12 year old thread resurrection!
Or you lived in your mothers basement
I'd imagine details like that would go in the special instructions section.
Back when I was in college, I would always give the first line of the address as the street address of the mail room, and the second line as my box number.
As far as the postal service cared, the second line didn't matter. They would deliver to the address in the first line, and the second line was just so that the mail room would get it to me without having to go digging. Sometimes, people who were averse to shipping to PO boxes would get upset over my having "box" in my address, so I started just appending "#123" to the end of the street address. The mail room understood it in that format, so it caused less grief sometimes in getting stuff shipped.
At work, all non-USPS packages go to one particular room, and if I'm having something personal shipped I will usually stick the room number in the second line. Often, I put both the building name and the room number in addition to the street address. Granted it doesn't make much difference our four different drivers(UPS ground, UPS express, Fed-Ex ground, Fed-Ex express) are regulars and know the ins and outs, but it can help when we have a sub.

Well I am going to see if they can follow the signs tomorrow
I did
Shawzborne
123 Superman Cres.
Rear Door Backyard Entrance
Krypton, ON
Canada
So hopefully they can figure it out
That might work fine.
Back when I was in college, I lived in a basement apartment that had its entrance at the rear of the house. It was designated by a "B", so to borrow your example, it was like, "123B Superman Cres." whereas the normal house address was "123 superman Cres".
Can your local post office help give you any info?
Well it was the weekend so they only reply on twitter during weekdays so I ended up DM’ing a ups agent for a while. I shipped out a swiffer, and pizza slicer from amazon so will see if it arrives in the right spot..

Filling out forms, I never knew what they were for. Please enlighten
Would it be for an apartment number?

Is that my address of the Apple Store ? The 'Beverly Hills' part is correct anyway.
