Fair enough. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of words rather than names. "Detroit Metro Airport" is a use of metro in relation to mass transit, too, but I suspect not what whoopdedo was talking about.



I hear the word "Metro" used as a generic term for transit systems often. I think it reflects the variety of transportation options usually included in a "Metro" system: subway, elevated trains, street cars, buses, etc.
