There is some serious number fudging there. Yes YRT has a service area of nearly 2000 km2, but they aren't providing service to much of that area. The only rural municipality with a substantial amount of service is Georgina, and that is because GO downloaded their service in the area to the region.
Likewise compare this to HSR. The City of Hamilton is much larger than the City of Toronto in area, but only shows up at a third of its size. Same goes for Durham Region.
According to Wikipedia, Hamilton is 1100 km2 and Durham is 2500 km2.
