I think you misunderstood. I was explaining that DC was second in ridership after nyc, much farther behind them (of course - sheer size difference) but a great deal ahead than other cities in north america for daily ridership. I was responding to a complaint about DC's "sprawl" which related to a discussion concerning neighborhoods from which you could walk to the heart of the federal core or take metro subway. It's one of the more interesting uses of the term I've seen. The DC metro system also spiders out to communities in the Maryland and Virginia suburbs as well, but we were talking about neighborhoods within the district itself.
