It really doesn't need to be Singapore dense for public transport to work. It just needs to be clean, reliable, easy to use, and reasonably comprehensive. What it really requires is competent planning and funding.

Even developed world suburbs can have decent public transport (as long as you're willing to walk 10 mins) and if more did, fewer people would feel the need to own or use their cars.

Yeah. If one ever follow Not Just Bike they would know that the size of the place and the density play less of a role of having good public transport infrastructure, because once a train station is build, the surrounding area will also start to develop because developer love these kind of spot. It's really just how the town/city is being developed and what the infrastructure they have to accommodate the public transport/micromobility.
