A designated area located on or adjacent to retail locations, facilitating public transportation access for shoppers and employees. These points often feature signage indicating route information and sheltered waiting areas. For example, individuals can board or disembark public transit vehicles at a dedicated location near the entrance of a large retail chain.
The presence of these transport hubs offers significant advantages, enhancing accessibility for individuals without personal vehicles, reducing traffic congestion by promoting public transit usage, and potentially increasing foot traffic to the retail establishment itself. Historically, such placements have evolved from informal arrangements to formalized agreements between retailers and public transportation authorities to serve community needs.
