Mass transit in Asia, especially Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Hong Kong, and Singapore are equally as good as European cities, IMO. And these are actually the cities where mass transit is actually profitable, so much that they are actually list themselves as a for profit corporations (so technically, "public" transit isn't the right word for mass transit in Asia) in their respective stock exchanges because everyone uses transit to get around. Can you imagine the LA Metro, Chicago CTA, or the NYC Metro as a for profit corporation publicly listed on the NYSE? LOL
