subway stations

Metro transit hubs

Subway stations are the stops along an underground rail transit system where passengers board and exit trains.

Each station typically includes platforms, fare collection areas, and access points to the street level.

In cities with subway systems, stations often become landmarks and meeting points: I'll meet you at the subway station on 34th Street.
