Building at-grade is much more realistic in a suburban setting than in the urban core, while distances are still much shorter than intercity
it means fewer boards at any given stop, but this gets outweighed by the number of stops involved--assuming, again, hi-freq all-day service

In particular it means that half-measures that might still work in a denser environment will never work there: go big or go home

Makes sense - by number of stops you mean fewer or more stops relative to urban area?

More, by an order of magnitude--282 subway stations in Tokyo, but thousands of stations in the suburban hinterland

Interesting. Guess it shows power of American attitude that even w/o much experience I'd assume lower density means transit unworkable.
