Pourquoi est-ce masculin ?
Metro is masculine in Italian. While it can mean "tape measure" (metro a nastro), it more commonly refers to the "subway/underground railway system" (metropolitana). The word derives from Latin "metrum" (a measure or meter), which was a neuter noun in Latin. In Italian, Latin neuter nouns typically shifted to masculine gender when they retained or developed an -o ending, which is why "metro" is masculine.
