Wikipedia

  1. Layover

    In scheduled transportation, a layover (also waypoint, way station, or connection) is a point where a vehicle stops, with passengers possibly changing vehicles. In public transit, this typically takes a few minutes at a trip terminal. For air travel, where layovers are longer, passengers will exit the vehicle and wait in the terminal, often to board another vehicle traveling elsewhere. A stopover is a longer form of layover, allowing time to leave the transport system for sightseeing or overnight accommodation.
