In many western cities, the subway is called the "Metro". Many people go to work by taking a bus to the nearest Metro station. After they get off from the Metro, they walk a few blocks before arriving at their final destination, thus the sequence: Bus Metro Walk (BMW). Those who go to work by this BMW are called BMW people.

在很多西方城市，地鐵都叫做Metro。很多人出門上班時都是先乘坐公交車到達最近的地鐵站，出了地鐵以後再走一段纔到達他們的目的地。這樣的出行方式就叫做BMW（公車、地鐵、步行），以此方式出行的人就叫做“BMW族”。

For example:

When asked how he gets to work everyday, a colleague of mine used to say: “I get here by BMW.”
被問到每天怎麼上班時，我一個同事回答說：“我是公交、地鐵然後步行來的。”
