Significado
To use the subway or metro as a mode of transportation.
Contexto cultural
The Paris Metro is famous for its 'Art Nouveau' entrances and themed stations. It is the heart of the city's identity. The phrase 'Métro, boulot, dodo' is a common way to describe a boring, repetitive life. In Montreal, the metro is entirely underground to protect commuters from the harsh winter. Musicians in the metro are a staple of the experience; they actually have to pass an audition to play there.
Line Numbers
When taking a specific line, you don't need to say 'le métro numéro 1', just 'la 1' or 'le métro 1'.
The 'S' is Silent
In 'je prends', the 's' is never pronounced. It sounds exactly like 'il prend'.
