I saw that stat as well; if memory serves it was "survey" based. Considering how badly people (can) estimate commute times, I'd say the number is heavily biased on the low side. My commute is less than 7 km with traffic that never stops for anything other than red lights and I'm usually 15ish minutes. That's door to door summer time including the spiral pathway in the parking lot. People seem to never use actual door-to-door numbers when they live in those parasite communities.

On a side note, I saw an amusing article how Calgary Transit is getting f-bombed on their new Twitter account. But I guess issues with maintenance and service aren't helped by people committing suicide-by-train.
