transit stations
Where passengers board
Transit stations are designated stops where passengers board and exit public transportation—buses, trains, subways, or light rail.
The term emphasizes infrastructure: platforms, shelters, ticketing systems.
The new transit station connects three different rail lines.
Transit stations serve as nodes in urban transportation networks, often becoming commercial and social hubs in their neighborhoods.
