skip-stop
Passes some stations
Skip-stop is a transit service pattern where a vehicle stops at some stations but bypasses others, alternating with another vehicle that serves the skipped stops.
The arrangement speeds travel for passengers whose origin and destination are both served by the same pattern: The A train runs skip-stop through Brooklyn during rush hour.
Passengers at skipped stations wait for the next train.
