I was a fan of BART when I lived in San Francisco. It beats driving somewhere and taking literally 2 hours to go through traffic and find parking. With BART I could get to the same location in 15 minutes. BART is tiny compared to other subway systems but they're really great if you actually live in the city and have to commute. Much better than buses or driving.

[Methmatician]

I've ridden the Melbourne City Loop subway.

[Mraz]

Paris and London.

[Atlantic Islander]

No I haven't.

[Caismeachd]

I've been on London underground as well but not as an adult. I don't remember well.

[rhiannon]

Yes.
In New York and in The Netherlands:)

[Vesuvian Sky]

Of all these city metros, I was most impressed by Berlin. Talk about German efficiency :thumbs The Hauptbahnhof station was a masterpiece of architecture. The trains are very punctual and fast.

Second best is Stockholm which is impressive and equally punctual and generally a great metro service.

[Rouxinol]

Lisbon, New York, Budapest, Brussels, Copenhagen, Vienna that I remember.

Lisbon's "Metropolitano de Lisboa" map:

Vien and Sofia, of course...

[Loki]

Let me think ...

London
Newcastle (yes, they have a subway ... )
Paris
Budapest
Copenhagen
Stockholm

That's about it, I think.

EDIT: How could I forget, Rome too.

London and Istanbul(both Europe and Anatolia)..

[The Lawspeaker]

Next year or so I will probably have to add Singapore and Manila's MRT and LRT to the list. Hmm I also want to try out Athens, Tokyo, Stockholm's T-Bana and Copenhagen...

[Queen B]

I ride Athens Metro every day
Also, I have been in the Munich's one.

Btw, I have rode the best imaginary metro. Thessaloniki's

They didn't pull any punches when they built it. :thumb001:

[The Lawspeaker]

Amsterdam's Metro service is being rapidly expanded with the new North-South Axis. This is what it will look like when completed:

And this is what the new train sets will look like:

To be quite honest: I think the general design of the new stations sucks. I like the tunnel station of the The Hague tram services much better:

[oyster]

Bucharest only and it's been very OK. Fast, clean, bodyguards, modern. They also have a place for performing arts at Unirii station. I liked it.

[MfA_]

would like to try Tokyo metro

Can't beat the Glasgow Subway for efficiency

London Tube is messy everywhere.

Glasgow Subway is easy & steady. Round the loop . :D
