transit network
City movement system
A transit network is the interconnected system of public transportation routes and services in a given area—buses, subways, light rail, ferries, and their stations, stops, and transfer points considered as a unified whole.
Urban planners design transit networks to move people efficiently across cities: The transit network connects downtown to all major suburbs.
