This isn't true. Toronto's suburbs have far higher transit ridership than typical Canadian burbs. In fact, the burbs have higher transit ridership than many Canadian inner cities.

What is the basis of this comment? Only the Toronto area has separate suburban transit systems, so how can you compare with other Canadian suburbs which operate with a singular transit system?
Naturally, larger cities with bigger congestion problems will have higher ridership.
The original point was valid, that most larger Canadian cities have surprisingly high suburban transit ridership.
The quality of transit service is bigger determining factor on ridership than immigrant status.
The fact that Canadian cities did not trash their transit systems has helped Canadian cities to maintain ridership as competition with private vehicles increased.
