In and around big cities like that the situation is usually pretty good. If you live around Berlin the public transport infrastructure is also good. Munich, London, Paris, etc. as well. But if you go out into rural Bavaria for example it’s very different. Northern Germany maybe a bit better. Netherlands also pretty good. Rural France is very empty. Belgium, also, surprisingly bad in the small towns and you see a ton of car dependence.
But even with big capital cities, it depends on the country. For example Bucharest, Romania has very good public transportation in the city itself, thanks mainly to the Communist-built metro and tram, but as soon as you go out into the periphery, in the suburbs that grew in the past 30 years since the fall of socialism, the public transport is abysmal and you literally cannot live without a car because of how poorly planned they are.
So it’s a very mixed situation in Europe. Some parts very good public transportation, others not so much.
