Are you being an idiot or an asshole?

If Maryland does not have a subway, then please explain to us what THIS is?

Looks like a subway to me...

We don't call it a subway and never have. The line is below ground only a couple of blocks. 95% is on ground.

8 of 14 stations are underground.
MTA Maryland calls it "Metro Subway".

So in every possible way, WADL!

Just because it wasn't called a "subway" doesn't make it not a subway. London has subways but local terminology refers to them as the "Underground" but they are still subways generically unless you want to get technical about the sub surface lines which are really open cuts with scattered tunnel portions. The tube lines are definitely subway construction, however. By the way, the same goes for the PATH. Even though it is jurisdictionally a railroad, the underground portions are still generically a subway!

No, you call it the subway all the time, you just don't want to admit you made a mistake. What's that word in the page title, Oh, that looks like SUBWAY to me...

Couple of blocks? Try about 6 miles. Or about 40% of the line's length, not the 5% you insist it is.

WADL!!!

And it doesn't matter what YOU call it, since you're almost always wrong anyhow. It only matters what it actually is, which is a SUBWAY.

wait....

Is your dumbass getting the light rail confused with the subway..?

We're talking about the heavy rail, 15 mile long, 40% underground Metro Subway. Whatever you're going on about, isn't.

Thanks Bob,

I found this article. Good portion of it(almost 1/2) underground.
Baltimore Metro

This type of system reminds me a little of SEPTA's MFSE. :)

Ok, let's try some details for you:

The whole Metro line is about 15 Miles
About 6 miles of that (*40 percent of 15 is 6) is underground including 8 of 14 Stations (*That's a majority of the stations) on the line:

Johns Hopkins Hospital
Shot Tower
Charles Center
Lexington Market
State Center
Upton
Penn-North
Mondawmin

North of there, it does indeed go above ground.

If this line is not a subway, then I guess neither is the 7 train, or J train in NYC, right?
