I have found the opposite. Tokyo, Kyoto, Singapore, Hong Kong, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, all of them public transportation was way way WAY more convenient than a car. Lived with a car the first 16 years of my adult life followed by 16 years no car. The no car years were better. Now I live in SF with car. SF might be considered to have good public transportation by many in the USA but it's shit compared to those other cites and it's not convenient. It's really only useful if you live really close to one of the tram lines. Further, in those other cities, public transportation is clean and something everyone uses. In USA cities outside of NYC, public transportation is largely considered a service provided to those too poor to own a car. As such it's always shit.
