subway stop

Metro boarding point

A subway stop is a station where underground trains pause to let passengers board or exit.

The term often refers to the location itself as a landmark or meeting point: Let's meet at the subway stop on 34th Street.

In casual use, stop and station are interchangeable, though station may suggest a larger or more prominent facility.
