I've heard unofficially that DC's Metro is the country best public transport ... though I'm not sure how the buses are.
The T in Boston has also been rated very highly.
I still think the sheer size of NYC's MTA tops any other city. It runs 60-70% on time, and carries a fuckload of commuters and passengers daily. Also has the highest penetration rate in the sense that New Yorkers are more likely to use mass transit than in any other city in the country.
Really really shitty ones include:
Philly's SEPTA
Atlanta's MARTA
I don't have much experience with the West, but Denver's bus system, though small, fucking rocks.
