subway entrance
Descent to trains
A subway entrance is the point of access to an underground transit system, typically marked by stairs, escalators, or elevators descending from street level.
In cities with extensive metro systems, subway entrances become landmarks for giving directions: Meet me at the subway entrance on the corner of 42nd and Lex.
