Not on the "Metro" they don't.

It's better not to have people wandering the streets asking for the wrong thing - or they might be sent to Grand Central - for Metro North - or to the Metro sub shop.

This is like people who ask for Greenwich when they mean Greenwich Village - they need to be corrected to avoid confusion - or they can end up in CT.

Why promote confusion with incorrect terminology?

Oh, I have no problem with clarifying the difference between the subway and the non-existant 'metro'.

You are misleading others as you continually write that staying outside of the city is a PITA for visitors. It isn't. Nope. Not really. It isn't.

I am assured that few truly 'lost people' will end up in CT.

Ye, no "Metro" in NYC, but why is it called the "Metro Card"? huh? go figure it out.

BTW, dont ask to eat a subway

PS: perhaps the Metro as in city card?
PSS: the so-called subway is above ground mostly in Brooklyn.
