1.4 Introduction
General
RTS js usualy called “metro", although
in English speaking countries the terms
subway and underground are used. The
rapid transit system varies greatly be-
tween cities but has usually common fea
ture that in larger metropolitan areas the
underground system extend only to the
limits ofthe inner city, orto its inner ring of
suburbs with trains making frequent sta
tion stops. The outer suburbs may then
be reached by a separate commuter rail
network, where more widely spaced sta
tions allow higher speeds. Rapid transit
systems are often supplemented by oth
er systems, either buses, trams inoluging
LRT or commuter cal!
Metro stations are part of the infra
structure that allow passengers to board
and disembark from tains. They need to
be functional - well accessible and easy
to understand ~ and at the same time —
comfortable and aesthetically ~ reflecting
the hertage and modernity of engineering
and architecture

3.2 Selecting Site
3.2.1 Selection Framework
The site selection is structured as a
framework around 4 main principles that
‘support Network Rails corporate vision
‘and policies":
+ Usability
+ Quality
+ Value
Each principle includes one or more
criteria that should be considered and ad-
dressed during the planning or selecting

‘AS a result, the main selected site cir

roles ofthe expanded circulation area are
usually defined in terms such as connect-
