Public transport
Several hooked routes that duplicated the light rail alignment were separated to provide shuttle service to light rail.
I am translating a text about public transport. After the introduction of a light rail system in a city, part of the transport network has been modified. These "hooked" routes are part of the bus lines, slightly modified so that services would not overlay. I have posted this question in the English > Spanish SC. I have three answers and I still don't know which one to choose because the sense is not clear to me. Could you explain with other words what these "hooked routes" are? Thank you!

linked routes (for commuting)
I am fairly confident that the term 'hooked routes' is not a standard phrase and was made up by the author or perhaps it is a bad translation from another language? From the context I understand it to be routes that are linked.

The very fact that none of the other language professionals have so far ventured an opinion, nor agreed or disagreed with me on this question confirms that the term \'hooked routes\' is not a standard phrase.
