subway systems i've used
8/12/23: changing this to a list citing the first time I rode each system rather than having it call dozens of images from a server that no longer exists, because the list still delights me :) and this only applies to subways and commuter rails and trains; the original checklist didn't include bus-only transit systems. One of these days I should do an updated version for every system I've added since 2006, but that'll take some time.
And I still have my Octopus Card and SmarTrip, as well as a couple of old MetroCards in my wallet. Though I don't have this month's CharliePass, since I forgot to get it before I went on vacation. Oops.
(Also, if you do this meme, its code is sucky enough that you'll want to either edit the HTML or put it behind a cut. Plus, it doesn't put them in in the order you clicked on them, nor in alphabetical order. I'm rearranging mine to reflect chronological order. :) But the premise was nifty enough for me to take it anyway!)

It also dropped several cities, so this is a WIP. Instead of packing for the weekend. *grin* Granted, I need to pack three shirts, two pairs of pants, toiletries, and a sweater, and that can be done in the morning, but, principle of the thing!

I'm actually kind of jealous, you've seen a lot of systems. I'd love to see Toronto's TTC, they've really got their shit together. But where's the Twin Cities' MetroTransit? Hmph.
