metro driver

Underground train pilot

A metro driver operates a subway or underground train, transporting passengers through urban rail systems.

The term is more common in cities that call their systems "metro"—Paris, Washington D.C., Los Angeles—rather than "subway" or "tube." The metro driver announced a delay due to signal problems.
