The underground train system in the United States is commonly referred to as the "subway." Major cities like New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco have extensive subway systems that provide public transportation. Each city's subway may have its own unique name, such as the "New York City Subway" or the "Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) trains."
