• Synonym交通体系WrittenA written, policy-and-planning term for the overall transportation framework; 「交通網」 centers on the network of routes itself.
• Synonym輸送システムWrittenA written-style term for systems that move goods and people; descriptive and logistics-oriented, not about a web of routes.

• Related足あしCasualColloquial for one's means of getting around, as in 「足がない」 (no ride available); personal transport, not a network.
