The sentence comes from a youtube video about an embarrassing situation when a girl meets her ex's new girlfriend. The girl complains about the slow journey of the subway. The other says, "well it's actually quite fast if you put it in transit speaking."
Is that a kind of expression in English to say "if you put it in ... speaking", which might means "if you consider ..." ?

Barmar · Answer

"transit speaking" is not idiomatic. A more common way of saying it would be "transit speak" or "transit terms".
They all mean "from the perspective of the transit system".
