I have a co-worker that grew up in Vancouver and is always talking about "16th and Cambie" and all the great times she had...granted this was like 30 years ago, sooooo?

I was in Paris for two weeks last month and rode the train every goddamn day and it was among the best experiences of the entire trip... Yes, they were very full at certain times of day, but the convenience? I would give up my car in a heartbeat if such a system existed where I live.
