Elevated train stations

Elevated train stations are transit stops built above street level on structures called viaducts or embankments. This design separates trains from ground traffic, reducing congestion and urban footprint. Elevated stations typically feature platforms that align with train doors and may include stairs, elevators, or escalators for access. They are common in dense cities where space is limited and help facilitate efficient public transportation by allowing trains to pass through crowded areas without interfering with road traffic or pedestrians below. This setup enhances safety, connectivity, and the overall flow of transit systems.
