No wonder that most addresses also include the nearest Metro station as well. I haven't been there in a while, so I'm not sure if they still have the 60's-70's style carriages - those are just too old.
So while I wouldn't vote for the Moscow metro as the best in the world, but surely Moscow would just grind to a total halt without it.
My favourite system is Tokyo - with its several subway operators' networks + the many JR lines + the several private rail lines. And they all work seamlessly with the Suite/Pasmo cards, no matter who is the operator.
