subway entrances
Steps to trains
Subway entrances are the access points where pedestrians descend from street level into underground transit stations.
In cities with extensive metro systems, they're recognizable urban fixtures—stairways flanked by railings, sometimes covered or marked with distinctive signage: She waited by the subway entrance on 42nd Street.
The plural often refers to the multiple entry points serving a single station.
