subway platform
Underground boarding area
A subway platform is the raised area in an underground train station where passengers wait to board and exit trains.
Platforms typically run parallel to the tracks, with a marked edge warning riders to stand back from approaching trains: She waited on the crowded platform during rush hour.
Platform announcements and digital signs indicate arriving trains and destinations.
