Hong Kong
So how does Hong Kong get people to use public transportation? The vast majority of the people use it....
My guess is that it is incredibly cheap to use, furiously reliable and dead simple to use even if you *DON'T* speak the language! and unless there's a typhoon on the way, another bus or trail *WILL* be there within 15 minutes (5 minutes with trains) And this is in a city with over 7 million people!
Take *THAT* western public transportation!
