Design Observer points us to this exhaustive collection of Metro logos from around the world.
Since most metros around the world are indeed called 'metros' (only few are called subway, underground, U-Bahn, T-bana or something else), many metro logos are more or less fancy variations of the letter M.

The second logo on the 4th row counting from the top, the red one, is from Lisbon Subway, in Portugal. Ok, this is from my hometown and definitely my favorite.
Trying no to be picky, but Rio's (1st column, 7th row) is the coolest! Kinda web 2.0ish!

That they insist on calling them "metros" is the greatest branding disservice. How horribly un-pragmatic.
