Atlanta's is pretty nice, although I like the old robot sounding voice better. Definitely very fast and efficient for a completely automated system.

Orlando's is nice, Denver is very effective as well.

Hate Dulles' buses, although they are building a train.

My list:

Heavy Rail

Toronto, ON - TTC

London, England - London Underground

Atlanta, GA - MARTA

Light Rail:

Pittsburgh, PA - The "T"

Denver, CO - RTD Light Rail

London, England - Docklands Light Rail

Non-mass transit rail:

Memphis, TN - downtown trolley

Orlando - Disney World's monorail thing

Unfortunately, when I was living in Memphis, they didn't have the Medical Center line completed; and it was even more useless then it is today. I only used the trolley service a couple times because its so short - I lived in Midtown so it would have been useful had they extended it out before I left. Hopefully they'll get city wide LRT up and running before 2010.

I haven't been on any Subways, unless you count the Atlanta Airport Tram. Here's my pitiful collection of other transit I've used: (please refrain from abnoxious laughter, lol)

Jacksonville Skyway

South Florida's Tri-Rail

Miami MetroRail

Miami Metromover

That's about it, but down here in Florida, we don't have too many options for rail transit. Along with those listed above, there's city buses and trolleys. One day, I'll travel the world and get to use more transit.
