TUBE logo.

Tube or TUBE is a fast food restaurant located in Portland and Staunton Island in Liberty City and only made its appearance in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. Tube is a parody of the Subway restaurant. The name is most likley a reference to the London Underground railway system (London's version of a subway network), which is nick-named "The Tube". Tube's logo bears a striking resemblance to Subway's logo. The first two letters (TU) are orange, and the last two (BE) are white opposed to Subway's yellow and white combination. The sign also has arrows coming off the 'T' and 'E'.

-Since TUBE is a clone of Subway, the name was most likely chosen because in London, the Tube is what Londoners call a subway.  The first two letters (TU) are orange, and the last two (BE) are white opposed to Subway's yellow and white combination.  The sign also has arrows coming off the 'T' and 'E' which is also like Subway's logo.
