"他不喜欢坐地铁。"

Translation: He does not like to take the subway.

[sagitta145]

I think "He doesn't like to take metro" without "the" should be accepted too.

[zhouhuanyue]

I think "the metro" sounds better

[Imnuts7]

"the metro" is good.

The metro is the worldwide standard term for the means of transit so yes.

[woa7dSD5]

Not worldwide; where I come from the metro is the bus system; where I live now, no one ever says metro; it is fairly common in some places, though and should be accepted.

[Dejo]

Metro means subway = underground railway.

[woa7dSD5]

Usually, not always.

The use of articles is killing me. While I agree that this proper English to include "the", nobody talks that way, and it is common to drop articles when speaking. After all we are learning Chinese not English here.

"He doesn't like taking the underground"
A subway, in British English, is just a path that goes under a road.

[Imnuts7]

The Tube is the London Underground not the London Subway. Good point.

[Dejo]

It says I have a typo because I used "doesn't'' instead of ''does not''.

[sagitta145]

Mm, that can't be... Duolingo makes these two interchangeable automatically everywhere. Are you sure there wasn't any other mistake or typo? What was your full input?

[Chris387368]

I thought 坐 meant, "to sit". He doesn't like sitting on the subway. 哈哈哈哈

[Andrew-Lin]

Well, literally, yes :)
Actually we have another word for "take" in the sense of "taking train, bus, subway, etc.": 搭。
So "搭地铁" will be also perfect (but maybe more formal.)

[Andrew-Lin]

他不喜歡坐地鐵。

[ViktorNemeth]

Shouldn't it be 'taking the subway/metro/tube/whatever' instead of 'to take'? Taking is a more generic fact. The person in question generally dislikes travelling by metro. If someone doesn't like to take the s/w that's more a one-off. --> I don't want to take the subway. Today I'll get an Uber.

[EllenTrish]

To take the subway... is it normal English? Maybe to go by subway?

[Dejo]

Yes it's normal and more common than ''to go by'' ...to take the bus, take the car, etc

[TrinhNguyn183557]

does not = doesn't. why am i wrong?

[GanzeroMem]

What's wrong with 'He doesn't like taking metro' ?

[Steven201360]

He doesnt like to ride the subway should be correct as well.

[Brenda532089]

The website marked my answer "He doesn't like to take the subway." incorrect. It should also accept "doesn't".

[Omayra-123]

Is the a different word for train versus subway? I put train and it was marked incorrect

[CinnamonTe1]

Yes, subway is 地铁 and 火车 (huǒchē) is train.

[barry172361]

"He doesn't like taking...." is grammatically preferable, unless of course you live in the nineteenth century.

[weirdnerdykid123]

he does not like the subway should be accepted

[aizixin]

Travel by / go by would also work here

[tunafish36]

thats sad

[PaulWinzer]

"he doesnt enjoy taking the subway" not accepted
