ONLINESUBWAY
Communities and shops you find through a subway route map. Pick a country and travel along the lines.
What is it?
An open community that borrows the subway route map. You pick a country on the globe, narrow down to a region on the map, and find the stations in that region.
How the subway maps to the service
| Subway | What it means here |
|---|---|
| Line | A category. Stations in the same category form one line. |
| Station | An individual space, such as a club or small group. It has a real location. |
| Station master | The person who runs a station. You take this on when your application passes review. |
| Station staff | The team that helps the station master. Each station can have up to 3. |
| Passenger | Someone who has joined a station. You can be a passenger at several stations. |
| History hall | A station’s official record. Entries are dated and keep a revision history. |
