The scheduled interval at a transit terminal between the arrival of a vehicle at the end of a route and its departure for the next trip. This period, also known as recovery time, allows for delays, operator breaks, and preparation for the return journey. It encompasses both the time allotted for these activities and the specific location designated for the operator to stop between trips to adhere to the schedule. This ensures that vehicles remain on track and provides a buffer for any delays experienced during the previous trip.
