This, right here:

Most people who don’t work in transportation probably spend relatively little time in train stations, buses, and Jetways, as compared with workplaces

Except for people who spend 2 hours a day on a bus or train, 10 hours a week, 40 hours a month, because they can't afford a car/don't have a license/etc. I would guess that the number of Americans who spend a substantial part of their day commuting by public transit is in the millions and potentially tens of millions; it's not negligible.
