What is Interchange station?
An '''interchange station''' or a '''transfer station''' is a [[train station]] for more than one [[railway]] [[route]] in a [[public transport]] system that allows [[passenger]]s to change from one route to another, often without having to leave a station or pay an additional [[ticket (admission)|ticket]].

Such stations usually have more [[wikt:platform|platforms]] than single route stations. These stations can exist in [[city center]]s and in [[suburb]]s. Interchange stations are most common in metro and suburban rail networks. {{Commons cat|Rail transfer stations}} {{Transport-stub}} [[Category:Railway stations]]
