r/singapore is doubtful that American cities deserve to be in the list of cities with the best public transport

you know this ranking is bs because american cities are featured in the top 50

Chicago>Barcelona according to this list which is a huge joke. Barcelona's MRT system is basically on par with SG's in terms of cleanliness, comprehensiveness and frequency, whereas the Chicago one is like some soviet era aluminum tube that comes once per 15-30 minutes, even less frequent for their buses.

sf before munich as well. its a joke to call whatever sf has a public transport system

For those wondering, the SF BART (MRT) ride is about $4 USD (one way), very dirty and smelly, the subways are filled with rats and the trains are squeaky roller coasters.

Anybody who thinks it's 16th in the world is out of their minds.

And Tokyo at no 7? Tokyo rails carry more people than all the 6 combined.

Tokyo loses points in my book because they have 2 separate subway (Tokyo metro and Toei) and an additional aboveground (JR) networks who share almost zero infrastructure with each other. You sometimes have to tap out, go above ground, then enter another station just to change trains. Our Dhoby Ghaut station has no equivalent in Tokyo in terms of interconnection.

Tokyo Station alone is larger and busier than most airports, not even taking Shinjuku or Shibuya into account.

All you need is one Suica or Pasmo card, which you can tap in and out for all trains and bus. With your smart phone, you don't even have to unlock your phone and just go through, unlike in Singapore.

Yeah I for one am baffled as to how the heck Los Angeles's public transport comes anywhere near the Top 50. LA's public transport is absolute garbage. I'm sure SF is about as bad (cuz public transport across CA sucks in general), but thankfully I didn't need to suffer the misfortune of living in SF.

Sinkie living in Japan. Sorry but there is no way that the Tokyo public transport system is better.

Can't understand why so many Singaporeans have a hard time being proud of the local transport system.

Those sinkies that normally complain are those stuck in Singapore, never travel to see the world, only stuck in their tiny home behind their phone complain

Oh, they travel. But they do it just for the gram. Not for learning, not for widening their perspective of the world.

If they admit that other countries are not slam-dunk better than SG, how are they gonna show off they've been there, and how superior they now are to you?
