Created through the need to make travelling through the city faster and more efficient, the Subway Station is a gateway to the different parts of the city and beyond. The Subway Station’s sustainability relies on its ridership, thus it must be comfortable, safe, and convenient. Every day countless people travel through on their way to and from work. Its cultural context is reflected in its design, giving the public a connection and belonging. Different styles and designs help the passengers of the subway the ability to determine their location along the subway line. Like the bus shelter and the bus system, the subway station is a part of a greater whole. While technically the subway lines connecting the stations together make the entire subway system one large structure, the same can argued for pedestrian buildings spanning between buildings and the pipes connecting all the buildings within the city make those one large building. The stairs that rise from the ground on the city streets and the cramped and hidden hallways that lead within, give the appearance of small. If the Subway Station is not a small building it is at least one camouflaged as small.
