Platforms can vary in size, from small ones at local stations to large ones at major stations. They often include features like benches, signs, and safety barriers to help guide passengers and keep them safe. Platforms are an essential part of train stations, making it easier for passengers to access trains.

(piragua)
canoa
a narrow boat that is light and has pointed ends, which can be moved using paddles
A canoe is a small, narrow boat that is typically paddled by one or two people. It has pointed ends and is usually open, meaning it does not have a deck covering the interior. Canoes are often made of lightweight materials such as wood, plastic, or aluminum, making them easy to carry and maneuver. The people paddling use a single-bladed paddle to move the canoe through the water. Canoes are commonly used for recreation, such as in lakes, rivers, or other calm bodies of water, and can be used for activities like sightseeing, fishing, or racing.
