What is Metro and the difference with subway and meter, is it the same than metropolitan?

I Get Confused, I Know what Metro Means but not the exact meaning. It’s a measurement in spanish, it’s a subway but what people intend to mean with Metro Area, Metropolitan, something to do with subway?

It is just a term for the mass transit system.

San Francisco has BART, Chicago has the El, LA has the Red Line

Metro, the subway, the tube and the underground are all common terms used for various underground rail networks.

The word Metro is also understood as being short for the Metropolitan area (i.e. the City, not the outer suburbs). And subway is also used in some cities to mean an underground walkway (as opposed to an underground rail network, in other places).
