The metros being faster always is dependent on your destination being favorably connected to the lines you are near. Take a random a to b in any of those cities, and I’d say the car is typically going to be fastest. Here’s a random trip across tokyo, which at the time of writing takes 50 mins by car or an hour and 38 minutes by transit.

Not only that, right now is the middle of the night in Tokyo. If you change the "depart at" time to something like 5 PM, the driving time is estimated to be anywhere from 65 to 125 minutes.
