What is a "platform"?

A platform is a raised area at a train station where passengers wait to board or exit trains. It is usually next to the tracks, providing a safe space for people to stand while waiting for their train. 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.

What is a "route"?

A route refers to a specific path or track followed by a bus, train, or other forms of public transportation to take passengers from one place to another. It includes the starting point, stops along the way, and the final destination. Routes are planned to connect different areas, ensuring passengers can travel efficiently between key locations. Each route is usually identified by a number or name, and vehicles on that route follow the same path regularly, often at set times. Public transport routes help organize travel and make it easier for people to get to where they need to go.

What is a "canoe"?

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.

What is "rush hour"?

Rush hour is the period of the day when there is a high volume of people traveling to or from work, school, or other activities. This typically happens in the early morning and late afternoon or evening, when traffic on the roads, buses, and trains is at its busiest. During rush hour, public transportation services and roadways can become crowded, leading to longer travel times. It is a common challenge in cities where many people rely on public transport or cars for their daily commutes.
