Depends what you mean by in SF. That is a study of the entire bay area asking how they get to / around SF. That makes sense, most people in the bay area coming into the city are suburbanites who drive in. You'd probably see the same for NYC as well, barring Manhattan which is more or less hostile to driving. People who live in the city though primarily get around by walking transit. The same study says :

San Francisco residents still used priority modes twice as often as non-residents for trips within San Francisco.

So it's the dominant mode for people traveling in / through SF but not for people who live in SF.

In my original comment I put an edit in with a link to the original and SF is orange, along with DC which you can't see on this either.
