The Metro is a subway/transit magazine. As such, it is written in very simple English. Newspapers traditionally have been very hard to read for English students as they are too idiomatic, too filled with colloquialisms and local language and flavor. The Metro is different and very useable by English students.
On top of that, you can download the Metro issues for free, either the whole copy of the newspaper or the pages you select.
Self-study activity:
Get together with an English-speaking friend and choose a different article from the Metro to read. Then, tell each other about what you have read.
