I suppose you are right. I'll concede that they both have public transport systems that get you to where you need to go, and the extra efficiency in the Tokyo system tops out the scale they are using to measure. But it is interesting that Tokyo's train system has to be efficient, to support the amount of passengers that go through it. Shinagawa station after a 15 minute delay on the Yamanote line in rush hour is wall-to-wall people, whereas the same in Melbourne is just a bunch of grumpy commuters stuck at Flinders St :)
