Metro stations & passengers

Follow a passenger from street to train through entrances, ticket gates, lifts and platforms. Compare elevated, underground and step-free station routes.

What you can explore

Getting to the station

A station starts before its entrance. A passenger must reach it along a usable street, cross the road where a crossing exists, and find the right way in. The shortest route depends on where they start and which facilities they use.

Fares & access

The gates separate the public concourse from the paid railway area. A usable journey also needs a fare people can afford and a ticket or payment method they can use. This model follows the boundary without assuming a real fare policy.

Inside the station

A station is a chain of connections: entrance, concourse, gate, vertical movement and platform. Choose stairs or follow both lifts and the wide gate. A step-free route must remain continuous across the whole journey.

When the train arrives

The station and train meet at a doorway. Leaving room for people to alight keeps their path clear before others board. The selected passenger waits beside the opening, then enters after the alighting figures have moved away.

Back into the city

Leaving the station is another part of the journey. Homes, work, shops and a bus stop are different destinations, with different walking routes. The station entrance only becomes useful when it connects to the places people need.
