Definition
中转 means 'to transfer' or 'to transit', especially in the context of transportation — changing from one flight, train, or bus to another at an intermediate stop. It can also refer to the act of passing through a hub during a journey. This is different from 换 (huàn) which means 'to change' in a general sense; 中转 implies a planned stopover or connection, often involving a transfer point.
v.
