How it's used
Refers specifically to the geographic corridor or area immediately adjacent to a transportation route like a railway or bus line. It is frequently used in real estate and urban planning contexts to describe the accessibility of a location relative to public transport. Unlike general spatial descriptions, it implies a direct functional connection to the transit infrastructure.
Examples
There are many new property developments along this railway line.
It is much more convenient if you live along the MTR line.

Common phrases

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the general term 沿途, which refers to the scenery or events experienced while traveling along a path. 沿線 is strictly about the location or property situated along a transit line, not the act of moving along it.
