I aslo live in Zurich and totally agree. And yes, it's not exclusive to rich countries. I can also think of Prague, which has magnificent public transport with a subway rolling in every 90 seconds in peak time. Buses and trams are less frequent (especially on weekends) but get you to just about everywhere you want to go.
