Drives home one more time the difference between reading and understanding 
I could translate individual words - public, commute,machine, connection but didn’t put them together for public transit system

自動販売機 is crucial vocab tbh. They even had an article recently about 河豚自動販売機 which I think got posted on this forum somewhere!

I saw that article, very interesting new ways they are trying to sell stuff on those vending machines 
Sorry I still don’t think I understand. Can you explain this word in American? Is it some kind of communist elven magic?

It might be one of those untranslatable words, but the closest American approximate is “greyhound,” I believe.

Something like that. It’s one of those words you run out of breath before you finish pronouncing (especially when you’re a smoker, but you shouldn’t smoke on 公共交通機関、ダメ！)
It’s no doubt an incantation to summon the grand ゴロゴロ地下鉄さま!

Seems like it would be Karakuchi Komento, the Ro character is ロ.
EDIT: I’ve managed to learn 河豚 without reaching that level, entirely from the memes.
