express stop

No local halts

An express stop is a station where express trains halt, as opposed to local stops they bypass.

In transit systems, express service skips intermediate stations to reduce travel time, stopping only at major hubs: The A train makes express stops in Manhattan.

The term distinguishes stations served by faster routes from those requiring local trains.
