Doesn't Lausanne have pretty good public transport? Here's a live map: http://simcity.vasile.ch/lausanne/

The Lausanne metro is fantastic. The M2 cuts straight through the hills and the M1 runs parallel to Lake Geneva and can get you to, say, EPFL in no time. On top of this there are the commuter trains which can get you to Geneva in about thirty minutes.

How fast can you get from 4th & King to the SJC?

Nevertheless, comparing San Francisco to Lausanne is unfair. Lausanne provides better infrastructure for a smaller population.

They have similar topologies, that was my only point (and that I've lived in both cities to know...).

About as nice as San Francisco, though I biked most everywhere in the latter (small city!) and only took Caltrain in the former.
