station

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'base for commuters' is the definition.
'station' can be an answer for 'base' (synonyms). I'm not sure about the 'for commuters' bit.

'it's not a different' is the wordplay.
'different' is an anagram indicator (letters placed in a different order).
'its'+'not'+'a'='itsnota'
'itsnota' with letters rearranged gives 'STATION'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for station that I've seen before include "Place of duty, work" , "Broadcasting channel" , "HQ - stopping place - post" , "Train halt" , "Depot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
