How it's used
Focuses specifically on the physical convenience of a location or route relative to the speaker or the destination. It implies that the spot requires minimal effort or detours to reach, often highlighting its proximity to transit hubs or main streets. While it describes a place, it is frequently used to evaluate whether a meeting point is practical for a group.
Examples
The MTR station exit here is very convenient, you arrive after walking two steps.
Pick a restaurant that is easier to get to, so it is convenient for everyone to go after work.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 方便, which is a much broader term for convenience. While 方便 can refer to time, money, or general ease, 就腳 is strictly reserved for spatial accessibility and location.
