Ah, que j'aime le metro a Paris!
The stations aren't too deep so you go from pavement to platform in a short time. Not too many tunnels, not too much walking.
There are lots of stations, so you're never too far away from one and the journeys are quick.
There are lots of trains, so if you miss one or can't face jamming yourself onto one, there'll be another along in a mo.
It's cheap! €1 a go. That's about 85p. It's something like £14 to travel just in Zone 1 in London these days.
It's relatively clean. It's not too hot. There are people in the ticket booths. And, of course, you're in Paris so the ratio of pissed-up idiots eating Burger King and dribbling is low. You do, however, have to watch out for pickpockets. But this is true of all the world's underground systems.
The Paris Metro. Better than the New York subway? Discuss.

Well the New York subway takes you around New York, so it pips it for me on that score alone.
