NYC subway used like that too. Didn't look at schedules, just hopped on and off at whatever station. Didn't feel like crossing under the east river in a tunnel so hopped off a red train and switched to a yellow train to use a bridge instead. All on a whim.

The subways in Japan are fantastic. Interesting that they make a loss on the trains themselves and more than compensate in profit from retail and real estate.

Switzerland too - I was there for the first time for a couple of weeks last month. Didn't even think of hiring a car, using Uber or anything - the public transport is just too damn good. Even though I had a pretty good idea what to expect, I was still amazed.
