Tovaszálló

Tovaszálló is a Hungarian term that appears mainly in discussions of transportation and logistics. In general, it refers to a place or facility where passengers or goods are transferred from one vehicle to another in order to continue a journey. The exact meaning can vary depending on the context and no single definition is universally standardized in everyday language; the term is more common in industry documents, route plans, and signage than in general dictionaries.

Etymology and sense: the word is a compound of tövább and szálló, with tövább meaning “further” or “onward” and szálló historically connected to carrying or transport, as well as to a place associated with travel or accommodation in some contexts. In practice, tovaszálló is used to denote a transfer point or interchange facility, though this sense can be broader or narrower depending on the operator or sector.

Usage and context: továszálló is relatively specialized and may appear in planning materials, timetables, or descriptions of transport networks. It is sometimes replaced by more common Hungarian terms for transfer points, such as átiszálló, átvezénylési vagy átállomási language, depending on regional preferences and the specific mode of transport (rail, bus, freight, or intermodal terminals).

Related terms: transshipment, transfer point, interchange terminal. In Hungarian, related expressions such as átiszálló vagy átállomási kifejezések are often used to convey similar concepts in a more standardized way.

See also: transshipment; transfer point; intermodal terminal.

Note: Because tovaszálló is not a widely standardized term, its precise meaning should be inferred from the context and, if possible, clarified with the source or operator using it.
