529,600,000 trips were made on commuter rail in the USA in FY15. I'm saying that the number would probably go up if the trains were better.https://twitter.com/roadtoserfdom3/status/895722280377999360 …

If intercity railways in Japan switched from MUs to locomotives, costs would increase and the value of the service they deliver would drop
-
By the same token, if commuter railways in the USA transitioned from locomotives to MUs, the reverse would occur here
-
Other investments--increasing service frequency--increase cost while increasing value. In a high demand corridor, value rises much faster.

Achieving a standard of cleanliness would certainly cost a lot in the USA at this point, but maintaining one is cheap and VERY valuable
-
Fixing up US rail has to start where it's most viable--in urban and suburban systems with already high ridership & mode share.

Both variables continue to change. So far, I see no trend toward more centralized less modular transportation alternatives, I see opposite.
