It's more than just a matter of the subways being accessible. They also have to go places people want to be. Other than Center City and the Sports Complex the system doesn't really take people to many places that have much drawing power outside their immediate neighborhoods. This goes back to my old point of how different a city this would be if even 1/3 of the originally planned subway system was built. As it is now the subway connects you to something that will take you to Main Street or Franklin Mills. Atlanta's numbers I can see as being higher because the system grew long after the city was well established and planners could put the routes where they'd work best. MARTA is also nearly double the size of SEPTA's system.
