      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 …

      Are you trying to sell commuter trains to people as viable alternative to personal transportation? Because that's a losing argument.

      I do like trains, I just know they cost more than value of the service they deliver in passenger transport. W/o unions & all robotic, maybe?

      If I run a fruit stand and only sell rotten apples, does this mean apples cost more than the value they deliver? Or do my apples suck?

      Regarding trains: both their cost *and* the value of the service they deliver are extremely variable. It's just a matter of lining them up.

          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.

          " It's just a matter of lining them up.” Sounds easy enough. Let’s do it!

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