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.
Nope - Montreal has one of the best transit systems in the world. As far as I know the only one that might be better in Canada is in Toronto and I'd rather live here. And no - I still don't believe that you and the thousands of people that work around you find it faster to walk 17kms every day than to use any other means available. I've been in Montreal 40 years in 7 different municipalities abd never heard of anything even remotely like that.
