I've got a confession to make. I dig mass transit systems. Especially because where I'm from the mass transit system is a joke. Before Florida became the people swamp there were wide open roads. Some went to nowhere and some went to the BFE end of Coral Springs. I tried one of these "systems" called the BFT and left pretty unimpressed. The busses took forever to arrive and when you did get to the transfer station the bus you needed wasn't there and wouldn't arrive for 30-45 minutes. This was the weekday, weekends you could forget about it. Which is why I love mass transits systems that actually work and are used by real people.
I found this little gem on the internet.
How many can you list. Just like everything else in Thailand, BTS is my favorite. But New York's MTA wins where it counts.
Darn, I should have been more adventurous in Thailand, taken the tram and gone to Phunket when I had the chance. I'm suprised none of the lines here (JP) are on the list. I dunno anywhere else I can miss the train for the airport and find out my alternate route from the same station and the connections -- within 10 minutes. It's one of the things I know will definitely miss.
