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.
Tokyo subway/JR is typically faster than driving/taking a taxi, unless your journey involves a lot of transfers or a big detour due to lack of connections between the train lines.
However, comparing Tokyo to Waterloo Region is silly.
