subway cars

Metro transit vehicles

Subway cars are the individual passenger vehicles that make up a subway train, designed to carry commuters through underground rail systems in cities.

Each car connects to others to form a longer train: The subway car was packed during rush hour.

They feature poles, straps, and bench seating arranged to maximize standing room.
