It might be a different calculation in the suburbs

2 km is actually more like Front to Wellesley. Right now (rush hour) Google says that is a 29 minute walk vs a 10-minute drive. Even if a bus is more like 12 minutes, a good number of people will make that choice. Particularly in the winter.
I know this for sure. For a while I had almost exactly a 2 km commute from Bloor and Christie to Bloor and Avenue. I never had a monthly pass, but I’d take transit about half the time. I promise you that people do that kind of thing regularly where transit is frequent.
