off-peak travel

Non-rush-hour journeys

Off-peak travel is travel during times of lower demand, when fares are typically cheaper and vehicles less crowded.

The term applies to trains, buses, flights, and other transit where pricing varies by time of day or season: Off-peak travel can save you hundreds on airfare.

Peak hours are usually morning and evening commutes; off-peak is everything else.
