transfer points or intermodal (transfer) facilities
Explanation:
Just a couple of ideas...

Intermodal Facility — A building or site specifically designed to accommodate the meeting of two or more transit modes of travel.

as in:
Limited Stop Service: Bus routes that make limited stops. Limited service reduces travel time by only stopping at popular boarding locations and **transfer points** in certain parts of the route.

....
Consideration should be given to building an intermodal transfer facility, somewhere in the vicinity of the Cathedral metro station and the southern end of any major internal circulator, like a tramway. The intermodal facility should allow ease of access and transferring between forms of mass transportation serving the area, including metropolitan buses, special-event buses, taxis, mototaxis, and, if built, the tramway.
