transport hubs

Although maybe 'hub' is too general?

transport facilities

Though the two examples are indeed hubs, nothing tells us that lieux here need specifically refer to such facilities. It might equally well refer to metro station platforms or bus stops where there might be a drinks/nibbles vending machine.
Note from asker:
In this case, not vending machines, but little shops/press outlets. So big metro stations, quite possibly, but not bus stops.
Peer comment(s):
