Even in Tokyo it’s rarely faster to take public transit than an Uber.

Tokyo might not be the best example. Shanghai, Peking, Moscow, as per my experience, there is a risk of getting stuck for 2+ hours with car. Even if it was faster sometimes by car, there is a risk of getting completely stuck.

That only happens in third world countries.

It happens in Taipei and Seoul as well.

It happens in the US if that was your point
