For sheer ease of use and ride enjoyment: Hong Kong and believe it or not Bangkok.

But as NYer, I'd have to rate the dirty, overcrowded dysfunctional NYC system as #1. Here's why:

1. It is 24 hour system.
2. It is a 24 hour system.
3. You can ride the entire subway system on one fare
4. Can can transfer between lines fairly easily and at multiple transfer points
5. It is pretty extensive- if you know the network.
6. There is great artwork( tiling, sculpture, paintings) in the most unexpected places.

Did I mention, it is a 24 hour system?
