transit station

Public transport hub

A transit station is a place where passengers board and exit public transportation—buses, trains, subways, or light rail.

The term emphasizes the station's role in a larger transit system, distinguishing it from a standalone train depot or bus terminal: The new transit station connects three subway lines with the regional rail network.
