Definition
换车 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to transfer/change to another vehicle' — typically a bus or train during a commute or trip. The two syllables can split: you put a measure word, duration, or object between 换 and 车, e.g. 换一次车 ('change a bus/train once'). You do NOT need to say the vehicle after 换车 itself — the '车' already means the vehicle. When specifying which vehicle, use 换地铁/换火车 separately.
v.o.
