Here's my list followed by a question and a fun fact.

Paris Metro

San Francisco Bart

St. Petersburg Metro

Tokyo & JRR & Senkansen

Kyoto Metro

Mexico City Metro

Guadalajara (Lejero ? or something like that, I even lived there and can't remember the name)

Boston

New York Subway

Montreal

Sao Paulo

But I have a question. Does anyone know about other cities in The South (including Texas). I've been many places in the world but don't know much about the South outside of Atlanta. Does Dallas, Houston, Nashville or Charlotte have a metro system?

Cool fact that I herd while living in Guadalajara, Mexico. The system in Guadalajara and the system in Tokyo are the only two systems in the world that get NO money from their state or country but raise all funds from fares or city monies.

Dallas has the DART, Houston has light rail (the one that kept getting into accidents) and I believe Charlotte does as well. Nashville I have no clue. And that's crazy that there is actually self sustaining mass transit systems out there. I wonder if that could ever happen in the US.

I am so impressed with all of the places some of you have been to! I need to start travelling internationally -

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one in love with public transportation. Part of me has always fantasized about driving a subway or a bus. :wub: I have spent the most time with Boston's "T" which I became quite the expert on, directing friends as to which bus route to take to get wherever, and I think it's a fantastic system. On the other hand, I have familiarity with Philadelphia's SEPTA system (having lived here for 4 years), and it is such a poor system -- but my understanding is that it is one of the least well funded subways in the nation, leading to not great service -- even though you pay lots to ride.

BOSTON - MBTA

NEW YORK - MTA (obviously a great great system)

WASHINGTON, DC

SAN FRANCISCO

PHILADELPHIA

Too much time on NJ Transit and MetroNorth (while living in Philly and New Haven) :) but I'm always grateful to get where I need to go.

I wish Amtrak were more affordable. I would travel on it much more frequently.

Internationally I have travelled on subway systems in Montreal, Paris, London and Madrid. Thought they were all great, but I have spent the most time on the Madrid system, and it's fantastic.

Clevelands Rapid that is also a sub downtown.

NYC sub.

Los Angeles sub.

Vancouver's Sky Train which is a sub downtown.

Vancouver's Seabus which isn't a sub or a train but I added it for fun.

NYC, Chicago, DC, Toronto, Paris, London, Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, and Athens. Most were great....Barcelona's smelled, Rome's was totally grafittied and crowded and had few stops. Athens' had JUST opened and it was incredible. I was on nice trains in NYC and I also took the train in from Islip. Chicago was in mid-Feburary and it was FRIGID, but nice and friendly people. I lived in Toronto for three summers without a car and I've gotten everywhere with their AWESOME subway system. Paris was great and very complete. DC was very nice, clean, but I felt like I was in a police state b/c there were soilders w/ machine guns around (orange terror warning and the war had just started).
