Point-to-point transit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Point-to-point transit refers to a transportation system where a plane, bus or train travels directly to a destination rather than going through a central hub as opposed to the spoke-hub distribution paradigm where the transportation goes to a central location where the passenger changes to another train, bus or plane to reach their destination.
Currently, the hub concept is the most commonly used. In the airline industry Southwest Airlines in the United States is the primary example of an airline that still uses the point-to-point transit model. The airline industry was point to point until the late 1960s/early 1970s when they switched to the hub concept.
