Best Mass Transit Systems

[marmar]

I've never been to Asia (or S. America) and experienced legendary systems such as the Tokyo Subway, so this is based purely on my experiences in N. America and Europe. Please add yours.


1. Paris - because the Metro covers the city like a snug coat & the RER gets you to anywhere else in Ile de France.


2. Berlin - great U-Bahn/S-Bahn coverage of a sprawling city.


3. Madrid - a FANTASTIC metro.


4. London - The Tube is sometimes balky and the commuter trains don't always run on shed-yoo-uhl, but it's a massive system and the double deckers rock.


5. New York - because the subway system is so massive.


6. Toronto - for the seamless connections between subway, bus, streetcar and LRT


7. Barcelona - Another excellent metro, with extensive bus and regional train service.


8. Amsterdam - Trams, a metro and an incredible regional rail network.


9. Washington DC - One of the nicest metros to ride, but weird metro-to-bus transfer rules.


10. Brussels - Another European city with a great transit system. Film at 11.
