Metro (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈmeːtroː] ) is a free Dutch newspaper, distributed daily since 1999,[2] mostly to commuters in high-traffic areas. Formerly owned by Metro International, in August 2012 the paper was taken over by the Telegraaf Media Group (TMG). At the time of acquisition, TMG already published another free Dutch newspaper, Spits. Later Spits merged into Metro.
