Layover

[1][2][3] A stopover is a longer form of layover, allowing time to leave the transport system for sightseeing or overnight accommodation.

Such stations allow an electric bus to partially charge its battery after completion of its route and while the driver is taking a required break.

In this case, they serve as extra time provided for the loading and unloading of passengers, which is most often scheduled at busy stops.

A layover in long-distance travel by train or intercity bus is a break that a passenger must take between vehicles in a multi-vehicle trip or while changing the mode of transportation.

[11][12][13] In determining layover time within a hub-and-spoke network, airlines must consider multiple factors, notably airport congestion and passenger expectations.

[14] Traditionally, airlines have sought to minimize layover duration due to the presumption that total journey time is an important consideration for passengers.

[15] Some airports are designed with amenities for travelers with long layovers such as gyms, yoga studios, movie theaters, and fine dining restaurants.
