I actually got to travel by metro during my brief stay at Nanjing about a week ago. The facility was pretty clean and modern. Subway trains come with TV so nobody is bored during the short trip. The trains themselves are not as crowded as I anticipated but a lot of people use the train.
Ticket is purchased through vending machines but if you are a long term resident you may purchase RFID equipped cards.
Another benefit of the Nanjing subway is that it provides an underground shortcut across streets and avenues. This negates the need to cross such streets above ground, which could be an adventure in and of itself due to the blatant disregard for traffic rules by many Chinese drivers.
