You should notice your confusion, read the article, and realise the headline is deeply misleading.

They are only counting walking for transportation. Not e.g. shopping, recreation, during work etc.

In general a good reflex when hearing something outrageous is to believe your own doubt as to the truth, and investigate. Media flourishes selling outrageous half truths and nonsense. 7bicycles was also deeply irresponsible copying this headline without context.
