Is there some kind of global index that measures how good public transportation is in major cities of the world? It'd be interesting to which cities rank at the top.
Can I request the well-traveled to share on this thread which cities they found to have the most excellent public transportation?
- bjelkeman-again 3y agoTokyo, London, Berlin, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Paris, are all very good. There are obviously many more, but these I am quite familiar with.
- berkes 3y agoSuch a metric needs quite some thought, though. What is "good public transport"? A tiny village with 24 souls and one busline will probably have more "public transport opportunities per capita" than Tokyo. A very dense city has lower travel times than a spread out (or mountainous) city even if their "amount of PT" is exactly the same. As such, "good public transportation" either needs an entire bookwork to describe the metrics (and is therefore rather unusable), or is just a highly subjective metric.
