How it's used
Focuses on the logistical process of moving between transport hubs rather than the act of changing vehicles itself. It is frequently used in professional or formal contexts like logistics, shipping, and urban planning, such as when discussing cargo or public housing arrangements.
Examples
We need to transfer at the airport before reaching our destination.
This batch of goods needs to transfer here and will only be sent out tomorrow.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 轉車, which refers to the simple act of changing from one bus or train to another. 中轉 implies a temporary stopover or a transit point in a larger supply chain or travel route.
