Tokyo Metro

WHY OH WHY DON'T WE HAVE THIS SYSTEM IN THE STATES!

The Tokyo Metro is so convenient...I can get to anywhere in Tokyo in 30 minutes or less. The trains come exactly on time and usually every 5-7 minutes.

When I first arrived it was a little difficult to navigate because different lines will take you to different places. But eventually I got the hang of it with this book:
If you're traveling to Japan, you need this book! It has a list of lines and destinations and everything. I use this book every day to figure out where I'm going. Coupled with an Atlas you can get anywhere you want.

I'm told that the Metro in Paris is as efficient as this system, and I hope someday LA could have something like this.
