transportation center

Where travelers converge

A transportation center is a facility where multiple transit routes or modes converge, allowing passengers to transfer between buses, trains, subways, or other services.

The term often describes purpose-built stations that consolidate what might otherwise be scattered stops: The new transportation center connects light rail, city buses, and regional coaches under one roof.
