boarding platform
Where passengers embark
A boarding platform is a raised surface where passengers wait to enter a vehicle—typically a train, subway, or bus.
The platform brings passengers level with the vehicle floor for easier access.
In transit systems, platforms may be designated by number or letter: The train to Central Station departs from boarding platform 3.
