Gateways and Hubs as Central and Intermediate Locations • Gateways & hubs • Nodes offering an accessibility to a large system of circulation. • Obligatory (semi) points of passage. • Convergence of transport corridors. • Centrality and intermediacy. • Gateways • Favorable physical location. • Intermodal and stable in time. • Hubs • Transmodal and subject to change. • Commercial decisions. • Delays vs. frequency of services. Intermodal Gateway Transmodal Hub
