I use public transportation almost 500 times a year. Walking to and from subway stations 4 times a day keeps me fit as a fiddle. I probably walk 3-4 miles total each day as I commute.
I always had this notion that people who live out in the country get lots of excercise. I never noticed when I was a kid, visiting my granparents out in the country, that they never ran around in the woods like we did. Now when I visit my mother in law in the country, I realize there is no place to take a walk. It's all farmers' fields and narrow two lane roads with speeding cars. We eat and sit on the couch. I think city dwellars are more fit than country and suburb dwellars as a result.
