I second this. The Boston T is great - although admittedly old (in fact it was the first system in America). The history of the area is clear in the stations - you can spend a whole day just reading the plaques and exhibits on the Red line. Due to the age many of the stations are less than accessible and others are dirty/rusty/decomposing. But for sheer ease of use and character the Boston T rocks. Many of the oldest stations are being completely rebuilt over the next few years. Of course that might also be because it's so small compared to many other systems. I was amazed the first time I took the Chicago MTA downtown - nearly an hour on a single train! ;^) Personally I found the DC system confusing when I was at DevCon, but I'm sure it could grow on you.
