The answer

METRO

What metro means

A rapid transit system using trains or similar vehicles that transports passengers within a city and its surrounding areas.

Where the word comes from

From French *métro*, short for *chemin de fer métropolitain* (metropolitan railway). The *métropolitain* part comes from Late Latin *metropolitanus*, meaning "of the mother city," derived from Greek *metropolis*—literally "mother city" (*meter* = mother, *polis* = city). The term was first applied to Paris's underground railway system in the early 1900s and later generalized to rapid transit systems worldwide.
