Berlin-I'd make this #1. The U-Bahn and S-Bahn cover the city and surroundings pretty well, but there is also a really extensive light rail system with frequent service getting you everywhere in between.

Prague's system and area is smaller but they cover it well with subway, streetcar and buses that seem to get you everywhere quickly. The system's monthly pass is a bargain. The system is also well linked to the rail network.

Toronto-I thought the comprehensive subway system combined with light rail lines on most thoroughfares above ground (that have frequent service) meant that you could get to most places within the central and inner ring very quickly.
