Frequency is the metric most related to people actually using public transit.

I don't care if it goes half the speed. I'm not going to take a bus to the grocery store if just the wait is over three times the drive.

frequency, and actually being able to afford a fucking ticket, but mercifully the cost generally doesn't seem to be high in the rest of the world

but holy fuck here in sweden the cheapest ticket for my province is almost 4 dollars, they excuse this by saying that "oh it's valid for 90 minutes and on all public transport within the zone!!! you only need one ticket!!" as if that helps when people want to go to the grocery store..
