local route
Short-distance road option
A local route is a transportation path—bus line, train service, or highway—that makes frequent stops and serves nearby destinations rather than connecting distant points directly.
Local routes prioritize accessibility over speed, stopping at every station or exit rather than bypassing them: Take the local route if you want to see the small towns along the way.
Contrast with express routes, which skip intermediate stops.
