That Chicago represents 28% of its metro population vs SF's 11% definitely hurts Chicago and helps SF here, if you normalized that I'm sure Chicago would come out on top (but SF would still be above average for the US, probably significantly above average).
For Jersey City, these metrics are specifically measuring commutes to work, and obviously commuting via transit to NYC there for your job is extremely common; its numbers would undoubtedly be lower if you were measuring public transit in general (though this may be true for basically all cities, honestly, so I'm not sure if that would affect the rankings).
