transit point
Stop between destinations
A transit point is a location where people or goods pass through on the way to a final destination.
The term appears often in logistics and travel: The airport serves as a major transit point for international cargo.
In contexts involving smuggling or migration, transit point carries a shadier implication—a waystation in an illicit route: The border town became a transit point for drug shipments.
