But then, I've never lived anywhere else. I mean, the bus system I rode on in Hawaii was really cheap, but I only took the bus a handful of times. I've been on Bart and Max, and they were okay. The buses I rode in San Francisco were a tad scary.
I've also taken Community Transit up here and man, it bites in a way that Metro just doesn't. A bus failing to run on a Metro route has never left me stranded, but Community Transit has. The buses are clean, the seats are comfortable, and the drivers are friendly, but that's probably at least in part because they don't have to work the sucky shifts that are so convenient for everyone else. C.T. seems to assume that people work an 8 - 6 schedule, for the most part, and don't really commute much otherwise.
I keeping hearing excellent things about the London Underground and the New York subways, but I've never been on them. I don't think I'll ever really be able to compare systems until I've spent at least a month -- if not a season -- trying to regularly get around on some other one.

Metro's fine, as far as I can tell.
