You are pulling it up from the British English dictionary that Google India uses. Try going to other dictionaries. The real definition of it is a ROAD or a LINK across a Metropolitan. France is mentioned as it was one of the first one to use this term for Paris based underground train. But that doesn't mean its the actual meaning. In fact, it represents a Metropolitan or Metropolis or a City Wide Link:
metro-3
1.
a combining form representing metropolis, or metropolitan, in compound words:
metroflight; metroland; Metroliner.

That is the level of jahaalat among patwaris. They are calling a Bus Rapid Transit System (BRT or BRTS) as 'metro'. lmao! These guys never seize to entertain me.
You live in Caanda, you should know enough English to understand the real meaning of the term or noun Metro? Or you moved there and didn't exactly go to school to learn the language all the way??? If so is the case, why criticize something you, yourself don't know about.....????
