Singapour is also a country reduced to a city, so that certainly makes transportation easier. The US is on the opposite of the spectrum.

But are you really going to claim that a lot of people are commuting from New york to San Francisco daily (or even across one state?)

Singapore is just as big as NYC, and almost as dense. Cross border commuters from Malaysia do exist but are not the norm because it's a big pain.

Also what's true is Singapore might be true in NYC but NYC is not the norm in US, it's the exception.
