Wow, you've been to Tokyo, Japan. You're lucky! For Alldeaf members who don't know what Portland MAX is, it's a light rail (regionwide) and streetcar (downtown area) system for Portland metro area.

I decided not to include high speed rail because very small amount of people have ridden it so I posted the most common type of mass transit modes. :)

maybe you should said city transportation? That make different to rule?
 
Ie never been on a mass transit system such as trains, airplanes, and metro transportation such as subways. In my rural area your options for transportation are limited to your own run down vehicle, bicycles, your feet, or a horse. 98% of the population here drives their own vehicle or bums a ride from friends.

The Duquesne Incline, in Pittsburgh. If you are curious what it is looks like...DHB took me to Pittsburgh for 4th of July (that was my first time go PGH) when I was about 10-12 (don't remember exact) weeks pregnant. And he took me to Duquesne Incline. I enjoyed the view. :) I would go back on again!

Ohh oops about "Max", my habits lol. Everyone in Portland Metro call the light rail in Portland as Max, that's why.

Yeah I have been in Tokyo, Japan and it was AWESOME there! Here's my own picture of the subway in Tokyo, Japan and they are very fast, like they come by for every 3-5 minutes.
