What is intercambiador?

Intercambiador is a Spanish word that can mean "exchange center" or "intermodal transportation hub." These are typically large urban facilities or stations in which several modes of transportation converge, allowing commuters and travelers to easily switch between different forms of public transport such as buses, trains, and subways. Intercambiadores are common in many cities around the world, with notable examples including New York's Port Authority Bus Terminal and London's Victoria Coach Station. They play a crucial role in facilitating urban mobility, reducing congestion and improving transit connectivity. Many intercambiadores also offer other services such as shopping centers, food courts, and information centers.
