"Metro nie jest wolniejsze niż autobus."

Translation: The subway is not slower than a bus.

[Simone76]

"The tube..." is commonly used expression for underground in London, so I suggest to add this option too.

[Jellei]

Sure, I am surprised it wasn't added so far. Will be accepted now.

Why niz here instead of od?

[immery]

both are correct. It can be also "od autobusu"
The course wants to demonstrate both ways of saying this.

Thank you.

Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to ask, too :)

Kolejka metra nie jest wolniejsza niż autobus/od autobusu -
The subway/underground/tube train is not slower than a bus

[Jellei]

"kolejka" sounds like a pretty childish word to me. Most Google results on the first page are about BRIO toys.

But following your train (hehe) of thought, I added "pociąg metra". That's what is used in Warsaw and after all it's the only metro in Poland...

[Tookeydoo]

We call the subway the "train" in Chicago. I suppose that doesn't matter.

[elizabethp713816]

In the uk subway is generally a place not a form of transport. For example a subway station, a subway under a road ( underpass). The transport is called, undrrground/tube/metro

[BruceAdams14]

I think train should be accepted here. We say underground instead of subway in Britain. I put train instead of subway because in England a subway is a pedestrian underpass.

[Jellei]

Well, "metro" is rather referring to the system, I'd say that using it for the actual vehicle (pociąg metra) is a metonymy. I'd consider the idea of accepting just "train" here a bit too risky. I added the possibility to add it after "metro/subway/tube/underground", though.

What about underground railroad?

[JerryMcCarthy99]

While this is technically correct, we wouldn't use it in the UK (as we don't use "railroad") and in the US it has too many historical connotations: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Underground%20Railroad

[AN5SFH]

I see, so just "underground" would be OK. Thanks
