You're telling me there are no buses, taxis, rickshaws or other forms of transit? Vietnam is too poor for every household to have 2-3 cars, so unless every single person is getting around by motorbike, there's no way there isn't some communal form of mobility.

And Vietnam isn't among the top immigrant groups to Canada.

Quebec City is a very urban, centralized metro, unlike Bay Area, and much poorer than Bay Area. Not surprising it would have high ridership. And I'm not saying immigration is the only factor, but it's a factor.
