Hong Kong is this way, too. People gush about the train system in Tokyo (which I have love for) but the sheer number of fast, frequent, and comfortable ways to get around in HK edge it out for me.

It seems like every 5 meters there’s a bus stop, and the busses are not old style clunkers but double deckers like Googles take.

As a former HK resident, a lot of it is because of how impractical it is for most people to own and operate a private car.

Returning to the US, it's car-culture and lackluster public transport was jarring.
