transfer point

Where routes connect

A transfer point is a location where passengers or goods move from one vehicle, route, or system to another.

In public transit, it's where you switch buses or train lines: The downtown station serves as the main transfer point for all subway routes.

In logistics, transfer points are facilities where cargo shifts between trucks, trains, or ships.
