Subway? Metro? Marta?
0 Hi, this is the first time that I have been to the US. I thought that people use Subway in the US, but it turns out that Subway happens to be the name of a chain restaurant. I don't hear anyone say metro, either. The bell boy in the hotel says Marta, or go to the Marta. 02 br
00 My question: Is Marta a company that operates the subway in the US? Are there other companies or it is the only one in the US which operates the subway? 0-

0 Different cities will call the subway system different things. Subway is certainly used. BART is Bay Area Rapid Transit, which is the public transport system in the San Francisco system.
