Higher density enables mass transit.
Moreover, work from home is a thing now. One person lives near their job, the other works from home, no commute.

This is putting the cart before the horse. The suburbs aren't dense enough to justify a transit route and if you install one there it will just go unused.
First you have to rezone all the low density areas to allow higher density. Then you look where people are starting to build once they're allowed to and install transit routes to the places that now justify them.
