he General Metro corporation designs and manufactures road vehicles. Since the corporation installed an efficient anti-grav system inside the road structure it became possible to produce low powered anti-grav road vehicles which were cheap and efficient, despite being limited to the road system. The vehicle designs were based on the exuberant styling of the 1950s according to the requirements of city planners. General Metro is a major competitor to Superdynamics, as both corporations provide transport systems.  From: Apocalypse Ufopaedia

+'''Property'''
-Hostile terms with General Metro will disallow X-COM from buying their products (see below). The only one of importance is the [[Passenger Module (Apocalypse)|Passenger Module]]. Note that most of the engines can also be acquired by buying the appropriate vehicle from [[Marsec]] and ripping out the engine.

-== [[Battlescape Overview (Apocalypse)|Battlescape]] Information ==
-* General Metro buildings have few guards: 6-10 Building Security. These are moderately armed (starting [[Tech Levels (Apocalypse)|Tech Level]] 2).
-* If General Metro becomes hostile to X-COM, it may sometimes send the same number of Corporate Hoods to raid an X-COM base. Due to their low numbers and mediocre equipment, they rarely pose a serious threat.
-* General Metro buildings are not a particularly lucrative target for raids. X-COM agents may find the following basic loot on the floor:
-** [[Megapol Lawpistol]]
-** [[Marsec M4000 Machine Gun]]
-** [[Megapol Auto Cannon]]
-** [[Megapol AP Grenade]]
-** [[Megapol Stun Grenade]]
-** [[Marsec Proximity Mine]]
-** [[Marsec High Explosive]]
