So only in every country in the world except USA?

Not if you count rural areas. In Japan for example, commuting every day in many areas still requires a car or long train rides. And the sardine-packed trains at rush hours in the cities are literally soul-sucking.

Or Sydney-Australia where if you're super lucky you're not standing squished on a train, or bouncing on a bus with 3 times as many people as seats.

Only Japan would remotely apply unless you're cheating the system by checking only hotspot cities and trying to claim they are the entirety of their country. Suffice to say, most people don't live near Amsterdam, let alone able to afford it.
