What is Terminal?

A terminal is a facility or an assigned area that serves as a transportation hub for the movement of people and goods. Terminals can take many forms, including seaports, airports, railway stations, and bus depots. They are typically located at key transportation nodes where different modes of transportation intersect, such as where ships dock to load and unload cargo, or where planes land and take off to transport passengers and freight. Terminals provide a range of services to support the movement of people and goods, including cargo handling, storage, customs clearance, security, and other logistical support. They play a critical role in facilitating the movement of goods and people around the world.
