The Best Subway System in the World

I've been to my share of places, and usually, when exploring, I make use of the public transportation system.  I now declare, hands-down that Madrid has the best subway system in the world.

Totally unexpected if you ask me.....Spain is not exactly known for efficiency and punctuality, yet the extensive system, which covers a large area was amazing.  The stations were clean, the system unified, the electronic ticketing system easy, and the most I ever had to wait for a subway was 3 minutes.  And it only costs 1.50 Euro for a single ticket, and 9.30 for 10 trips!

It has many lines, that intersect in useful places, and even has a circular line (Line 6), which encircles the downtown area in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions.

It really was a treat to take the metro in Madrid, it walks away with the best subway system in the world!!  (For sure it kicks Toronto's ass, speaking of which Toronto may have one of the worst systems in the world, as far as I can tell)
