It rules for several reasons: 1. it's really fast (it's speedy, I'm telling you!); 2. it's really efficient (trains pull in every few minutes, one right after the other!); 3. it's never broken down (I haven't seen it broken down once since I've been here -- if it were DC, well....); 4. it's really, really, really deep (multiple escalator rides into the underbelly of the city!); and 5. it's super cheap (basically 20 cents per ride no matter how far you go on the line!).

There are some negatives though too: 1. there are too many people riding it every day, all day (crowded trains like in Japan -- someone told me they have people pushers on their payroll too, just like in Japan); 2. people will move to the door to disembark before the train comes to a stop -- regardless if there's room to move to the door or not; 3. escalators are crowded and people push to get on and off of them too; and 4. it's really, really, really deep (it kind of scares me!).
