Do you have a subway system in your area? Post pics of them here! :D

I have the infamous BART system with the infamous Johannes Mehserle :rolleyes:

Only when i'm in London which isn't very often. Maybe 20-30 times a year?
We don't have subways anywhere down here though, trains and buses are our forms of pubic transport.

I do not. The subways in LA suck. They do not go anywhere you really need to go. You take your car or the train

I dont live anywhere near a subway, but if I did, I would a few times. It would just depend on the situation.

I like subways, but I don't think there's a single subway system within 200 miles of where I live.

I use these. It's a 20 minute commute to and from school. 15 minute bus ride, then a 5 minute train ride.

I do sometimes, but they're pretty inefficient.

Our closest is Glasgow and I never need to go out those ways so... nope. Although I remember one day when I was young (think my mum was sitting an OU exam and me and my dad just had time to kill in Glasgow) we went around the subway once in each direction for the fun of it :P

i HATE the TTC! I take GO to avoid it!

I only ever really take the Métro when I'm in Montréal. I guess it's still a train but it runs on tyres

I really like the look of the station in the 4th one!
My favorite station in the BART system is Powell Street Station- It's very metro and cool :)

In downtown Chicago, there is the El...and Metra. They're trains though, and not subways.
