I used to live in Melbourne and now live in Tokyo. I really enjoyed my time in Melbourne, but I don't see how the two can be seen as comparable in crime or public transport.
Tokyo's rail system is fantastic and cheap. I can get to basically anywhere within the city in a very short amount of time. I used to have trouble with train delays and cancellations in Melbourne, and the timetable was more a rough estimate than anything that could be counted on. Don't know if it's changed that much since I left ten years ago.
And to me, safety at night is quite different. I feel safe going out here; whether it was true or not I can not say the same about my time in Melbourne.
