Rapid Transit
Rapid transit or mass rapid transit (MRT), also known as heavy rail or metro, is a type of high-capacity public transport generally found in urban areas. A rapid transit system that primarily or traditionally runs below the surface may be called a subway, tube, or underground. Unlike buses or trams, rapid transit systems are railways (usually electric railway, electric) that operate on an exclusive right-of-way (transportation), right-of-way, which cannot be accessed by pedestrians or other vehicles, and which is often grade-separated in tunnels or on elevated railways. Modern services on rapid transit systems are provided on designated lines between rapid transit station, stations typically using electric multiple units on rail tracks, although some systems use guided rubber tires, magnetic levitation (''maglev''), or monorail. The stations typically have high platforms, without steps inside the trains, requiring custom-made trains in order to minimize gaps between train a ...

Frankfurt-Eschersheim Station
Frankfurt-Eschersheim station is a railway station located in the Eschersheim district of Frankfurt, Germany. The station is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 5 station and is part of the Main–Weser Railway. Entrance building The station building was built in 1877 and 1913, originally in the neoclassical style. The design is affected by the site's extreme slope: the street is two storeys above platform level. Services are now no longer available for passengers in the station building.
