I'm comparing other public transport options, namely road based PT.

Comparing a train to a car is kinda comparing apples to nectarines.

Bus is always going to be limited to whatever the road network can support, and face problems like traffic.

Rail can be improved way above what it is in NZ currently. It could be much faster than taking a car, as it is in many parts of the world. e.g. see: https://www.greaterauckland.org.nz/regional-rapid-rail/
