Da drüber bei der U-Bahn-Haltestelle ist ein Supermarkt. Note: This question is different from the pointed question (as a duplicate of it) they didn't explain there the difference between "bei" and "in" when we use them with places (and more specifically with buildings).

 

Say "bei" in combination with an indefinite article if you refer to a company or instituion (bei einer Bank bei einer Aktiengesellschaft etc.) or in combination with an definite or without an article if you refer to a particular company or instituion (bei der Post bei der Bahn bei der Technik GmbH bei Müller & Söhne etc.)

1) You just found something that is quite complicated for foreign speakers to learn in German language. If we are speaking about a specific address or a city German speakers are using "in".

I think technically as user1583209 says the Bahn is the rails or the track and Zug is the machine that is moving stuff around on the track.
