"Ligne" est employé en France, où l'anglais emploie "route", pour le métro et les autobus. A Montréal, on utilise "ligne" pour le métro et "circuit" pour les autobus. Au Canada, "parcours" est parfois employé comme synonyme de "ligne". Cependant "parcours" semble être plus concret et mesurable. 4, record 1, French, - ligne
