transport links
Routes between places
Transport links are the connections that enable movement of people or goods between places—roads, railways, bus routes, ferry services, air routes, and the infrastructure supporting them.
The term appears most often in British English, typically when assessing location: The area has excellent transport links to the city centre.
Good transport links increase property values; poor ones isolate communities.
