GRT is slow, but so is STM (Montreal), compared to best-case driving times. I actually don't know any transit systems which generally do better than best-case driving times. Usually you don't have the random inconveniences of driving like traffic and lack of parking, though, when you take transit.

New York City subway, I’m pretty sure. London. Paris. Parts of Toronto. Well, maybe not “best case” but that is a theoretical construct only available in the real world at about 3 AM when you probably have no interest in going.

Also intercity trains can often beat or match driving because of their higher speed. But for local transit, basically anywhere that has prioritized unfettered driving will always make driving faster, and rush hour terrible. It’s literally an economic axiom.
