transit routes

Bus and subway lines

Transit routes are the fixed paths that public transportation vehicles follow—bus lines, subway lines, train corridors, ferry services.

The term emphasizes the planned, regular nature of these paths: The city added new transit routes to the suburbs.

Transit routes appear on system maps and schedules, distinguishing them from the random paths of private vehicles.
