local stops

Every platform visited

Local stops are the stations where a train, bus, or subway halts on its regular route, as opposed to express service that skips intermediate points.

The term also describes the service pattern itself: Take the local—it makes all the local stops.

In transit systems, local stops serve neighborhoods between major hubs, trading speed for accessibility.
