I lived (and still live) in a city with good public transportation my whole life (Prague has reportedly one of the best in the world). This is an issue of economics. Government-provided services with no alternative tend to go very bad very soon. Tokyo has grown a lot - and they built their infrastructure well. My city has been built mostly 200-500 years ago.
