SubwayStation

SubwayStation is a direct CivicStructure subtype for metro, subway, underground, and light-rail stations. It adds no properties of its own. For mainline rail, use TrainStation.

Minimal valid version

The smallest markup that still produces a valid SubwayStation entity. Use it as the floor. Reach for the advanced example above when you want search engines and AI agents to understand more about your content.

Google rich results this unlocks

SubwayStation is a structural type. It does not produce a rich result on its own.

Its value comes from combining it with a primary type whose markup earns a rich result (Article, Product, Event, and so on). SubwayStation becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common SubwayStation mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

    Using SubwayStation for mainline rail

    Wrong
    SubwayStation for an intercity rail station
    Right
    TrainStation for mainline rail; SubwayStation for metro/underground

    Transit planners and routing APIs distinguish metro from mainline rail.
