Such a metric needs quite some thought, though.
What is "good public transport"? A tiny village with 24 souls and one busline will probably have more "public transport opportunities per capita" than Tokyo.
A very dense city has lower travel times than a spread out (or mountainous) city even if their "amount of PT" is exactly the same.
As such, "good public transportation" either needs an entire bookwork to describe the metrics (and is therefore rather unusable), or is just a highly subjective metric.
