When the distances get to be significant, designs start prioritizing comfort (including first class seats) as well as capacitypic.twitter.com/0FSu6rTPRD
In Boston, commuter rail frequency is much lower than subway frequency, has a capacity-throttling layout, and uses locos instead of MUspic.twitter.com/MAyDbdyTzF
"Commuter rail lines and subway lines have different predecessors" yes, as was the case in Japan too. Convergent evolution is a thing, folks
That commuter rail in Boston is still using loco-hauled trains etc is evidence of arrested development, not reflective of passenger needs
One of the only ones in the country (I would call BART a commuter rail system)--could stand better frequency but otherwise v good for USA
we gotta do a lot better than the NE Corridor...it's good compared to rest of USA today but could be much better too
