How would providing enhanced public transit options 'change your way of living'?. In kuuma's comments, he/she described how Tokyo provides robust automobile AND public transit options that contribute to a highly functioning region. It isn't an either/or scenario.

Offering reliable and convenient transit would provide additional lifestyle options and would encourage more people to considering move to the city who value transportation options and car-lite lifestyle, since much of the city was built in the 'streetcar suburban' layout. The city and inner ring suburbs were built to accommodate both autos and public transit.
