Comment on From what I've seen, public transit is either expensive and terrible or cheap and good.

Counterpoint: London.

It’s easy to complain, with it being £2.80/$3.70 for a single zone cheap peak single, the frequent strikes, the noise, etc. but the trains are at worst every 5 minutes or so, they have the most frequent rail service in the world (Victoria Line), they’re constantly making improvements (Elizabeth Line, Battersea extension), it has fairly good coverage (when including national rail for south London), overnight service, and the busses are absolutely amazing.

Is it on par with Seoul & Singapore? No. But it’s certainly significantly better than most cities worldwide.
