commuter hub
Daily traveler interchange
A commuter hub is a transportation center where travelers transfer between routes or modes of transit—a major train station, bus terminal, or transit interchange that serves as a nexus for daily travelers moving between home and work.
The term emphasizes the location's role as a convergence point: Grand Central is Manhattan's busiest commuter hub.
