None of them are comparable. The density of Tokyo system is just 10x of anything else. You basically can get to any point in the city with a 30min trainride + 10 min walk, barely any waiting at all even with multiple connections.
I just lived in Tokyo for a year, and if good public transit was a main criteria for a place to live, Tokyo would be number 1 for me without a question.
