A public transport terminology question: What do you call a kind of (usually bus) route feature where the line turns onto some side street, serves one or more stops along it, turns around, goes back along the same street, and then continues onwards on some 'main' road?
(And seriously, this feels obscure enough that I'd like answers in literally any language)
I know two Polish terms for it - "zajazd" and the clearer and perhaps more professional "wjazd kieszeniowy" - but nothing that could possibly be recognized by anyone not from Poland, which might be an issue with regard to documenting a thing I'm working on.
Attached is an example of what I'm talking about from a Brno line map I had lying around:

An excerpt from a Brno public transport line map: Line 64 to Červený Písek turns off towards Zimní I at Depo ČD, then returns before continuing onwards

@HaTetsu I've never seen a bus route like that in .UK or .NL.

@quixoticgeek @HaTetsu There's one in Yorkshire but it only serves one stop.
