transport hub
Where journeys intersect
A transport hub is a location where multiple transportation routes or modes converge, allowing passengers or goods to transfer between them.
Airports, train stations, and bus terminals serve as transport hubs, as do ports where shipping, rail, and trucking connect.
Chicago became a major transport hub because of its central location.
