Metro/LIRR works fine, if you can tune out the aesthetics.

And the schedules. Tokyo train schedule slippage is measured in seconds.

I've found many Newyorkers will respond to any negative comparison of the NYC subways to other cities with a retort of "but we have 24/7 service and they don't".

I kind of feel that 24/7 service is actually one factor in why the NYC subways have so many problems - both in terms of logistics and aesthetics.
