subway stations

Subway stations are designated stops along a subway or metro system where passengers can board and alight trains. They typically feature platforms adjacent to the train tracks, with access points like stairs, elevators, or escalators. Stations are equipped with signage, ticketing facilities, safety features, and sometimes amenities like restrooms or shops. They serve to connect neighborhoods, facilitate efficient urban transportation, and reduce surface traffic congestion. Stations are strategically located to maximize accessibility and often include information about train schedules, routes, and connecting transit options, ensuring a smooth and organized transit experience for commuters.
