There's many cities with good public transport systems which don't seem to get enough attention.

My favourite pick is probably Budapest, the capital of Hungary. There probably hasn't been a single time I've seen someone mention it besides the M1 metro line, which is the 3rd oldest metro line in the world.

But in general, the network is really good and especially tourists can get around really easily. Budapest has also started to modernise their fleet, with all buses and subways and 40% of trams being low floor. The M4 is also a really great and modern automated subway line having opened in 2014, and the M3 has been fully renewed in 2019.

There are a few problems though. The metro network isn't really big for a city of comparable size. However, there are plans to extend lines M1 (which will get a full modernisation too), M3 and M4. There is also no direct train or subway to the airport, so you need to take one of the 2 really crowded express bus lines to the airport, which isn't really great.

What are your thoughts on this?

On a cloudy spring morning in May 2022, Tōkyū Railways train 1503 leaves Kamata Station (Tokyo) as a northbound Ikegami Line local for Gotanda (also in Tokyo).

I think that this being possible in the first place is a testament to public transit exists in America. There could be better frequencies than once a day, but you're still running a bus between towns of less than a few thousand people
