Island platform, английский
A single station platform with a track on either side, which is more efficient in facilities provision than two side platforms. it does tend to increase the land take however, because of the need to widen the track centres on the approaches to the station.
Automatic fare collection (afc), английский
A revenue collection system common on metros and urban railways which requires the passenger to buy a ticket and use it to release an entrance or exit gate to permit access to or exit from the railway. afc reduces the need for ticket checking staff and reduces fraud by passengers and staff.
