local service

Neighborhood route bus

Local service refers to transportation, communication, or utilities operating within a limited geographic area rather than across long distances.

A local bus or train makes frequent stops within a city or region, as opposed to express service.

Local phone service once meant calls within your area code, before the distinction faded.

The term also applies to businesses serving nearby customers: a local service provider for plumbing or electrical work.
