A location where transfer from one mode of transportation to another is possible is called a

• A. Break-of-Bulk Point
• B. Port of Entry
• C. Logistics Hub
• D. Interchange Corridor

Answer: (D)

The main idea tested is the location where cargo can move from one transportation mode to another. The best term for this is break-of-bulk point, which describes a place where goods are unpacked from one mode and reassembled or re-routed onto another — for example, shipping containers moved from ships to trains or trucks. This concept highlights the service the location provides in enabling intermodal movement and redistribution of cargo so it can continue toward its destination.

Port of entry is about legal and formal entry into a country, not the mechanical transfer between modes. A logistics hub refers to a central node where goods are stored, sorted, or redistributed within a network, but it doesn’t inherently specify the transfer between modes. An interchange corridor isn’t a standard term for describing intermodal transfer in geography or logistics. The break-of-bulk point terminology precisely captures the moment and place where mode changes occur.
