Every day 2,524,500 people manage to use the combination of 68 metro stations and 190 bus routes packed onto an island only 50km by 15km, but you HAVE TO walk 17 km cause its faster? I doubt it. The only reason I can think of for that is if you're working a graveyard shift in some obscure industrial location in which case you'd still have a harder time finding lunch or coffee than finding a bus that runs all night.
There are 1.3 million transit per day, let alone people. Wikipedia isn't a reliable source.
My workplace is isolated but there are thousands of workers around and hardly any transit. There's a 6-lane boulevard though, and they destroyed a foot bridge over highway 20 to make room for a new car lane. Montreal compares well to the rest of North America but that's like being best of the worst. It's not that great when you live outside the metro zone.
