transit route

Bus or subway

A transit route is a fixed path traveled by public transportation—buses, trains, subways, or ferries operating on regular schedules along designated streets or tracks.

Cities publish transit route maps showing where lines run and where passengers can board: The new transit route connects downtown to the airport.

Route may also refer to the numbered or named designation itself: Take transit route 15 to the museum.
