transport hubs
Where journeys intersect
Transport hubs are places where multiple transportation routes or modes converge, allowing passengers or cargo to transfer between them.
Airports, train stations, and bus terminals serve as transport hubs, as do ports where shipping, rail, and trucking meet.
Cities positioned as transport hubs often develop into commercial centers: Chicago became a major transport hub connecting eastern and western rail lines.
