Hong Kong hands down. No other country or city can touch its public transport.

Nah, Tokyo has better public transport than HK. There’s JR East, plus the subways, plus the buses. It’s really good.

Being able to use the public transport cards a s a general payment card is a brilliant idea, and it's a shame that no-one else seems to have implemented it.

You can use Suica/Pasmo to pay for things from vending machines and some convenience stores in Tokyo. Hong Kong isn’t the only place where you can use public transport cards for payment.
