Maybe a better comparison is to compare Kitchener to Katy? If anything, it makes Houston look worse overall from a transit standpoint.

I'm not really seeing that comparison either.
Kitchener is about a 70 mile drive from downtown Toronto, a 2 hour ride via public transit, or 1 hour 30 minute drive.
Katy to downtown Houston is 29 miles, a 1 hour ride via public transit or a 37 minute drive.
Kitchener is part of an entirely different metro, Katy is not. Katy is 100% a Houston bedroom community fringe suburb.
