How it's used
Refers specifically to routes or channels dedicated to a single purpose, such as transport or support. It implies exclusivity, meaning the service is not for general use or is restricted to a particular destination or function. You will frequently encounter this in the context of public transport, like minibuses that run a direct route between two specific locations.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with general public transport routes, as it implies a dedicated or direct service rather than a standard one. It is not used to describe a general road lane, which would be 車道.
