What 🚇 means

A subway train, the metro. It means the underground: the tube, the subway, the U-Bahn, whatever the local name is.

City dwellers send it to say they are underground and may lose signal, or to describe their commute. Travelers use it for getting around a new city by rail. It often sits beside 🏙️, or beside ⏱️ when time is tight.
