I'd go to the mat for the New York City Subway for one reason and one reason only: Express Trains. The idea of getting from JFK to Manhattan or Yankee Stadium to Queens without them would be murder. London could use these too.
Oh and let me add some more reasons:
- Flat Pricing
- 24 hour service
- "Stand Clear of the Closing Doors, Please!"
- Easy bus to subway (and vice versa) transfers
- Air conditioning.
- Fewer advertisements in stations
