trolley stop

Streetcar boarding point

A trolley stop is a designated place where a streetcar or trolley picks up and drops off passengers.

Unlike bus stops, trolley stops are fixed along the track route and often feature raised platforms or shelters: We waited at the trolley stop on Main Street.

The term appears in older American cities where streetcar systems remain or have been revived.
