This is arguably not true. It's not uncommon to find yourself on foot and alone in situation/places where it is not a good idea to be either.

I think this statement is more geared towards those commuters who are walking either way, not those that are deciding between driving and public transit. With fewer cars on the road, there is a lower likelihood of those walking being hit by one.
