Intermodal passenger transport

Intermodal passenger transport combines two or more transport modes within a passenger journey. Its connections may be coordinated through schedules, tickets, information, or shared facilities.

Interchange station: A transport facility designed to connect services or modes and support passenger transfers. It brings multiple modes together at a transfer point.
Park and ride: A travel arrangement in which people drive to a facility and continue by public transport. It links private car access with a public-transport leg.
Mode of transport: A general category of movement, such as road, rail, air, or water transport. Intermodal journeys combine distinct categories of transport.
Multimodal transport: Transport involving more than one mode, whether or not services are integrated into a single journey. The term may describe multiple modes without coordinated passenger transfers.
Integrated ticketing: A fare system that lets passengers use multiple services through coordinated tickets or payment. One fare arrangement can remove the need to buy separate tickets for each leg.
Rail–air intermodality: Passenger travel combining rail and air services within a connected journey. Rail can extend airport access or replace a short flight segment.
Public transport: Passenger transport services available for shared use, usually operating on set routes or schedules. It supplies many of the services connected in intermodal journeys.
Unimodal transport: Transport using one mode throughout a journey or service. It contrasts with journeys that switch between distinct modes.
Timetable coordination: The alignment of service schedules to reduce waiting or enable connections between routes. Coordinated arrivals and departures make transfers more dependable.
First-mile and last-mile transport: The local travel legs connecting an origin or destination with a main transport service. These legs connect a main route to places beyond its stops.
