In russian there is two different meanings:
Они в метро - they are located below ground, IN the subway station or train. We can used it when want to say, that you can't call them with mobile, because there no signal IN subway.
Они на метро - they are moving WITH USING subway (metro train), and now they are moving on train or move anywhere through the station. We can use it when want to say, than you can't see them on the usual bus stop, because they moving WITH undeground.

Why not "at" the subway? It's perfectly common and valid to say someone is at the subway.

So, I hear this в sometimes merge with the word after it, but sometimes with the word before it. Is there any special rules for it?
Little problem ive been encountering with this app when learning Russian when i put it how it is read in Russian its wrong for example intead of it being where is guitar it says its where is a guitar from what many of my Russian friends have told me it shouldn't have an a in it seeing in russia it would translate over to where is guitar
It also implies that Russia goes by the English grammar system there for it is incorrect.
I also translate Russian everyday and ive never seen anyone a in a sentence before and the only reason i have this app is to get a better grasp on the alphabet when it comes to the unfimilars as some call them
Sorry for ranting on so long its just im very frustrated about this and it keeps wasting my life's and slowing me down. Im hoping that they will make both correct answers.
