How it's used
Primarily refers to physical paths for electricity or transit routes. When discussing public transport, it is interchangeable with 路線, but 線路 often emphasizes the specific infrastructure or the technical path taken. In electrical contexts, it strictly refers to the circuit path rather than the current itself.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe a person's path or a general journey, as it sounds too technical or mechanical. Use 路線 for abstract paths or travel itineraries instead.
