Sorry for the thread creep.
With respect, that's not the same as what's being described here. What you're talking about is just a one-stop connecting itinerary through a hub: Singapore, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, etc. What's being discussed here is a multi-stop "bus stop" route from A to B to C to D, where each passenger's goal is not to connect to/from another flight, but to travel from A to C, or A to D, or B to D. And all else being equal, in this example B to C would be the busiest sector (as
willy wombat says).
