"Really well" in the big cities only. Outside the top ten, it's useless. I've lived in a handful of cities in Denmark for about 20 years and this view of public transport is a typical eastern bias.

I'm not sure what you mean by eastern bias? I've lived in Denmark for 24 years, and South Korea 1 year, along with traveled a lot of the world. Denmark has a top-class transportation system, one that doesn't close around 24:00 (like Japan), and one that is still affordable.

Well, if you go below top 10, then you have cities with less than 50k citizens, compared to 1.3 million in Copenhagen, and then 270k in Aarhus (the 2nd biggest city).

I'll agree the transportation doesn't get you everywhere like they do in the bigger cities, but they can still get you around.

I don't think it's fair to expect a whole country to be completely interconnected, and you have like half the population living in the top 10 cities.
