The Area 9 Central Transit Hub is a location mentioned in Half-Life and its expansions.

Overview[edit]

The Central Transit Hub is said to serve as a central station for the Black Mesa Transit System. It is only mentioned and never seen in any game.

Appearances[edit]

Half-Life[edit]

In Half-Life, the hub is mentioned during the tram ride at the beginning of the game. It is mentioned that if the player's intended destination is a high-security area beyond Sector C, he would need to return to the Central Transit Hub in Area 9 and board a high-security tram.

Half-Life: Blue Shift[edit]

In Blue Shift, a tram takes the player through Area 9 Security Checkpoint to reach its destination, Area 3 Security Facilities, at the beginning of the game. This area is believed to be an entrance to the hub. The hub can be seen on a map that shows the tram routes. According to this map, the hub is connected to the Blue Line of the transit system.

Behind the scenes[edit]

While the location has never physically appeared in the series, it was intended to be included in a cut mission in Decay. The original sixth mission (map name ht06hub)[1] was internally called the Central Transit Hub[2] and was to take place there.
