Thank you for your help. Here goes some more questions related to 'subway'
1. You should be quiet in the subway.
2. You should be quiet on the subway.
3. You should be quiet on the train.
------------------
#1 means: You should be quite when you enter the subway station. The place doesn't mean 'on the train.' I mean "in the subway" doesn't include 'on the subway." Is that right?
#2 means: You should be quite when you get on the subway or get on the train. Inside the train, you should be quiet.
#3 means:In the subway station, the moving vehicle is "the train." So he should be quiet on the train in the subway station. Can't we use "in the car" in the subway station?
What do you think about my explanation? Would you correct errors? Thank you.

You're correct about 2 and 3, but if you want 1 to mean "in the station" then that's what you should write -- or "in the subway station."
