in terms of comfort (including cleanliness) it's definitely the best i've ever used in the US. (tokyo is 100x better though). in terms of convenience it's not even close. the stations are way too few and far between, trains don't come nearly often enough, and the variable pricing requiring the rider to swipe again on the way out is unnecessarily annoying.

i think there was a post a few weeks ago that pretty much said exactly that. they spent a bunch of money researching and prototyping and whatever they came with didn't even work (how hard is it to build a container anyway?).

edit -- here's the post i was thinking of:
