Should add "US" to this title.
2014's Most and Least Expensive US Metros.
I agree, I thought this article was going to be about public transportation, since in many places outside the U.S. a "metro" is a subway/train.
I was actually looking forward to a comparison of actual metro fares.

Call it metropolitan instead of metro. Metro might be short for metropolitan but it means subway, not city.
