intercity travel
Trips connecting cities
Intercity travel is movement between cities or towns, as opposed to travel within a single urban area.
The term typically appears in discussions of transportation infrastructure and planning, covering modes like trains, buses, and flights that connect distinct population centers.
Intercity travel by rail has become more popular as high-speed routes expand.
The phrase emphasizes distance and the crossing of municipal boundaries rather than daily commuting.
