What is a "terminal"?

A terminal is a place where transportation vehicles, such as buses, trains, or planes, arrive and depart. It is typically a large building or facility designed to handle passengers and provide services like waiting areas, ticket counters, and luggage handling. Terminals are often found at the beginning or end of travel routes, such as at airports, bus stations, or train stations. They serve as key locations for passengers to board, disembark, and transfer between different modes of transport, ensuring smooth travel connections.
