The New Orleans St. Charles Streetcar almost counts, but there is a break between 2am and 4am, and long headways after 12:30. It’s my understanding that the Moscow subway runs 24/7.

There's a rumor that Tokyo might try 24 hour service on its subway system, but considering that it isn't built with a 3 track design like the NYC subway I don't see how they would be able to keep up with the maintenance.

But the night owl buses on the MFL (and the Broad Street subway) run every 20 minutes, which I would argue give those lines better late night coverage than the long headways on the 2 lines in Chicago. It doesn't really matter in much of the country because such a tiny percentage of the population is traveling during those late night hours.

The Chicago L runs two lines 24/7, but headways late at night are insanely long - either half an hour or an hour, I forget which. JR East runs some of its Tokyo commuter lines 20/7, with 5-minute frequencies until after midnight. PATH, PATCO, and Copenhagen Metro are the only ones I know about.
