transit hub
Where routes converge
A transit hub is a location where multiple transportation routes or modes converge, allowing passengers to transfer between them.
Major airports, train stations, and bus terminals serve as transit hubs, channeling travelers through central points: Chicago has long been a transit hub for rail travel.
Cities that function as transit hubs often develop around this role.
