The better question is why should those areas be included? Counting those areas artificially lowers the public transit use rate. Not because people wouldn't use it, but because it is not available.
If someone lives Rockwall and has no access to public transit why include them in the figures? If you want to include those places why not add even more counties in? Why not use the population of the state when factoring in Houston's public transit use? It makes no sense to do that
