Public transport route rebuilt terminal (8)

I believe the answer is:

tramline

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

'public transport route' is the definition.
'tramline' can be an answer for 'route' (tramline is a kind of route). I am not certain of the 'public transport' bit.

'rebuilt terminal' is the wordplay.
'rebuilt' indicates anagramming the letters.
'terminal' is an anagram of 'TRAMLINE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tramline that I've seen before include "track" , "Limit laid down in court" , "City transport rail" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
