Restaurants, hotels, and stores are some of the most popular types of places to review on Google Maps. A review can inspired by great service, an exciting collection of products, or a unique menu. However, it’s equally important to add reviews of everyday places such as the train or subway station you commute through each morning.
Here are some helpful tips for writing train station reviews.
Describe cleanliness, crowds, and service
Help others know what to expect when they get there. How frequently do the trains come? Is service often delayed? Are trains too crowded during rush hour? Including answers to these questions can help people better plan their travel.
Include info about convenient amenities
Restrooms, Wi-Fi, charging stations, or an information booth are just a few examples of helpful details to include in your train station reviews.
Share what makes the station special
Some train stations, such as Grand Central Terminal shown above, are iconic thanks to their remarkable architecture, location, and dining options. Other stations are special thanks to beautiful art adorning the walls or exciting street performers practicing their craft. These details will be interesting to include for art and culture lovers. Tell others about great places to shop at the station or pick up a to-go meal.
Include a helpful tip for first-time visitors
For example, many reviewers at metro stations in Paris tell others to be cautious of pickpockets and hold their belongings close. In New York City, reviewers recommend getting a 7-Day Unlimited Pass for visitors staying a full week. Be sure to include any advice you think might be useful for others to know.
Add details about accessibility
Public transportation can be one of the best ways to get around cities, but that presents a challenge for people with mobility needs. Information about which stations are wheelchair friendly isn’t always easy to find. That’s why it’s so important to include these details in your reviews. Let others know whether or not there’s elevator access, ramps, or step-free entrances.
