I actually had a reverse situation with a condo I own and was trying to rent out. A management company that I contract with to oversee the place (since I'm out-of-town) placed ads that said "near public transportation". In this case, the condo was right at public transportation. I wanted language in the ad that emphasized the closeness, but they said they had to adhere to standard industry terminology. Maybe because of so many instances where the more exact terms had been so misleading!
