local stop

Train halts everywhere

A local stop is a station where all trains or buses halt, as opposed to express stops that only faster services use.

The term appears mainly in transit systems with tiered service: Take the local—it hits every stop.

By extension, local stop can describe any routine, unhurried pause along a route.
