Copenhagen the city is 86 sq km and has a population of about 600k. That is considerably denser than Toronto or Montreal.
Density isn't the only thing that matters, but is a reasonable proxy for the number of people that can readily access a potential service.
Put another way, how many people living in the Corridor can access one of the principle stations in a reasonable amount of time (say 30 minutes)? That's your potential customer base, not people living in distant exurbs.
