transportation network
Roads, rails, routes
A transportation network is the interconnected system of routes, vehicles, and infrastructure that moves people or goods through a region.
This includes roads, railways, airports, shipping lanes, and public transit systems functioning as an integrated whole.
The city's transportation network links suburbs to downtown.
The term emphasizes how individual components—highways, bus lines, bike paths—work together rather than in isolation.
