The Metro is one of my favourite things about Paris, here are some reasons why:
1) It's cheaper than in Toronto (monthly pass = 55 euros)
2) It really covers all of central Paris, you can be walking almost anywhere and find a metro station in under 10 minutes. You can also usually go from one end of the city to the other in under 40 minutes.
3) The trains come fairly often, and there are always electronic signs with the time, and next 2 trains shown (Toronto has those new TVs in some stations, but you can usually only read them if you are close by)
4) It is really easy to navigate, there are signs everywhere to point you in the direction that you are looking for.
5) You can usually get a seat pretty easily.
6) It is more economical than in Toronto. Not every door opens at every station; you have to press a button, or move a handle to open them. Also the seats by the door fold up, so that when it's rush hour there is more room, and when it's not so busy there are more seats.
