What is the world's largest subway system?

It's a common trivia question, for which I've heard several different answers. They can't all be right, right?

The current Atlantic Monthly buzzes in with the right answers, using a few good metrics.*

No leg-stretching room here at rush hour, but at least there's a train every minute or so. Plus, air conditioning. Fortunately not in December.

Next they need to do a survey of World's Crappiest Transit System. I would be interested to see who came out on top, Boston or Montreal. (Assuming the survey only included major systems, obviously. Because then you could be all, well, Cheshire's transit system pretty much bites.)

Phone... numbers? Does that have to do with Blackberry handhelds or somesuch?

Know any hot chicks with allergy pills who will help me bring my kitties to Oregon when I get back from Israel in January*?

*Parse that, sucka.
