How are subways and local trains in your city or town?

Living in Vancouver, BC we have a decent system, but too few lines. While in Tokyo I was really amaed at the number of trains all over the city.

Good afternoon, Mr. Blow.

Fastest trains I know of are in France and Japan. I think Japan's is the fastest.

Next they're gonna build one from Northern to Southern California.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

South Korea has a fast train that runs from Seoul to Busan (the two largest cities, basically the opposite sides of the country) in two and a half hours.  It is a small country, but I think it's about as fast as Japan's shinkansen.
