Did anyone ride urban electric public transportation?

Anytime I have to go to Washington, DC (about 90 minutes from me) I park my car at a metro station prior to the city limits and ride the rest of the way. I promised myself years ago that I would never again attempt to drive in that city! Parts of the system are above ground. Overall I've found it to be clean & efficient.

I've ridden on the Baltimore system which I think is considered light rail. This was probably 20 years ago so I don't recall much except it wasn't a bad experience.

In the rural area where I live there really has never been much in the way of public transportation (beyond, I guess, the old Pennsylvania Railroad). There are limited runs of small buses operated by the county, mostly for the disabled & elderly.
