limited-stop
Skips some stations
Limited-stop describes a transit service that skips some stations along a route, stopping only at major or high-traffic points.
It offers a middle ground between local service, which stops everywhere, and express service, which may skip long stretches entirely.
The limited-stop bus gets me downtown ten minutes faster than the local.
The term appears most often in urban transit systems where reducing stops can significantly cut travel time on busy corridors.
