crosstown
East-west bus route
Crosstown describes movement or position across a city rather than toward or away from its center: a crosstown bus, a crosstown rival.
The word implies horizontal transit through urban geography, often suggesting the difficulty of east-west travel in cities where north-south routes dominate: The crosstown trip took an hour in traffic.
