subway station

Metro boarding point

A subway station is a stop along an underground railway system where passengers board and exit trains.

Stations typically feature platforms, ticket machines, turnstiles, and connecting tunnels or stairways to street level.

In cities with extensive systems, stations become landmarks: I'll meet you at the subway station on 14th Street.
