subway access
Underground transit portal
Subway access refers to the ability to enter and use an underground rail transit system, or the physical points where passengers can reach it.
The term often appears in real estate contexts, where proximity to a subway station adds value: The apartment has excellent subway access.
It also figures in discussions of disability accommodations—whether stations have elevators, ramps, or other features allowing entry for people with mobility limitations.
