I hesitated posting this as clearly there are many issues with the numbers here:

So for those who didn't read the article, these counts are done during weekdays from roughly 7am-6pm. But the issue is that it's been done over the last 3 years some in the winter and others in the summer.
So for example the Yonge and Dundas location was done in late January. Not sure about the rest.
It doesn't suprise me that Yonge and Eglinton is as high as it is but clearly it's not busier then some of the top 5. I'd guess Y&E was done in the summer.
The fact that it's weekdays factors in quite a bit. Queen and Spadina is no where on the list, if you check it is only reported at 10K, but in the summer, it'd likely be much higher.
Interesting nonetheless ...
