How it's used
Refers primarily to physical or abstract connections like telephone lines, internet circuits, or specific transport routes. It carries a slightly more technical or formal nuance than simply using 條路 or 電話線. It is frequently used in contexts involving infrastructure, telecommunications, or complex transit networks.

Common mistake
Avoid using this for a simple street or path, where 條路 is much more natural. It is also not used for a line drawn on paper, which would be 條線.
