Oh Amsterdam's cycling infrastructure is second to none. But comparing Amsterdam's transit system to Vancouver's is pretty unfair; Amsterdam has a population density of almost 5,000 people per square km compared to the GVRD's pop density of just over 900/square km. It's sort of like comparing Vancouver's public transit to Hope's.

I am perhaps biased having lived in Ireland where, the transit was abysmal. In my time in Berlin, transit was effective but I wouldn't put it above Vancouver's. Spain/Italy was ridiculous (not in a great way.) Though, all of them (except Ireland) were great at cross country connections for sure.

And almost all of the rest of the province is far too spread out for a comparable transit system.

Victoria for its population has a pretty solid one. But if you think about how large even a city like Kelowna is, public transit simply isn't an effective mechanism. It's one of the tradeoffs involved in the cheaper, more room/space rural living.

Haven't been to Tokyo but that seems like a wild high bar, I'd be pretty proud!

Toronto also has a really good system (partially because it was so well integrated into city planning back in the day.)

Despite the rural/conservative bent in Calgary, they still had a decent system from my limited time there.
