Excerpt

Metro is a British freesheet tabloid newspaper published by DMG Media. The newspaper is distributed from Monday to Friday mornings at public places such as bus stations, railway stations and shopping malls in selected areas of England, Wales and Scotland (excluding public holidays and the period between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day inclusive). Copies have also been handed out to pedestrians and are common on buses in dedicated storage boxes and train and metro stations in tall rectangular storage bins. In 2018, Metro overtook The Sun to become the most-circulated newspaper in the United Kingdom.
