My answers: 

1: What was the first subway system you ever rode in? London in 1990. 

2: When was the last time you used a subway? Tuesday, I had a meeting in DC. 

3: How far is it to your nearest subway station? About 1/2 a mile, a 10 to 12 minute walk. 

4: Would access to a subway system enter into your choice of where you would like to live? Yes, it did. 

5: Do you have a favorite system in the world? This is a hard question, Paris, London and New York have some of the most useful systems, but they are older systems with many-many stairs to climb in most of the stations.  The DC system is smaller, but very accessible. London and Paris are moving along well on making the stations more accessible.
